Have you served in our nation’s armed forces? You may qualify for a special government-backed loan called a VA mortgage. With this type of home loan, you can purchase a home in Florida with zero down.
What is a VA Loan?
You fought for the American dream, and now it is time for you to live it. With a VA mortgage, you can buy your own home easily and affordably.
A VA home loan is a mortgage with backing from the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
By backing your loan, the VA reduces the risk your lender assumes in providing you with the financing you need to buy a home.
That means that you do not need a perfect credit score or debt-to-income ratio to qualify. You also get to enjoy additional great benefits.
What are the Benefits of a VA Mortgage in Florida?
With a VA home loan, you can:
- Buy a home in Florida with no down payment.
- Lock in competitive interest rates.
- Skip paying for mortgage insurance, even without putting money down.
- Avoid high closing costs.
- Refinance without an appraisal if discount points are not charged.
If you are an eligible disabled veteran, the funding fee may be waived.
