VA Home Loans

A VA loan can help an active military member, veteran, reservist or surviving spouse make the dream of homeownership come true. Backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, a VA mortgage loan offers numerous advantages over a traditional mortgage product. As a VA home lender, Residential Mortgage Services offers a streamlined VA loan application process tailored to your specific needs.

What Are the Benefits of a VA Home Mortgage?

Advantages of the VA home loan program include:

  • No Down Payment: Traditional mortgage loans often require a substantial down payment to secure a mortgage. With a VA loan, you can finance up to 100 percent of the reasonable value of the property — which can make a meaningful difference if you’re a first-time home buyer.
  • Affordable Payments: The combination of competitive interest rates and no private mortgage insurance (PMI) requirements results in lower monthly payments.
  • Easier to Qualify: The VA program features less restrictive eligibility requirements than many other mortgage loan programs. Relaxed credit standards make it easier to qualify for a VA loan than a conventional mortgage product.
  • Reusability: You can use your VA benefits more than once, such as when refinancing your existing loan or upgrading to a larger home.

VA Loan Specifications and Eligibility Guidelines

You could qualify for a VA mortgage loan if you meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • Accumulated 90 consecutive days of active service during wartime
  • Accumulated 181 days of active service during peacetime
  • Have more than six years of service in the National Guard or Reserves
  • Are the spouse of a service member who died in the line of duty or due to a military service-related disability

A Certificate of Eligibility (COE) will verify your length and character of service and is an essential component of the VA loan application process. You can apply for a COE via a VA-approved lender or the VA eBenefits online portal, or by completing and mailing VA Form 26-1880.
