In 1944, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs crafted a program that would help the country’s bravest conquer a domestic endeavor: homeownership. The program was designed as a “thank you” to service members that would reduce the hurdles to homebuying brought on by the financial sacrifices made while serving the country. But what few veterans know is that the program never expired. In fact, today’s record-low interest rates make it more lucrative than ever.
Borrow from Your Own Home
If participants fall on hard times, the equity built up in their home can act as an emergency savings account. Up to 100% of the value of your home can be borrowed–a loan from your very own investment.
Calculate Your Savings
When you add up the value of the PMI exemption and exclusive interest rate discount, the potential savings are nothing to sneeze at. The annual payments on a typical $250,000 loan could be $3,100 lower under a VA loan than a conventional home loan.*
No Additional Insurance Required
Typically, any homeowner with less than 20% equity in their home is required by their lender to purchase additional mortgage insurance (PMI) to cover the risk of a potential foreclosure. Not vets. Because VA loans are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government, no additional PMI is required. That exemption can save veterans hundreds of dollars per month alone.
