A VA loan is perhaps the most amazing loan in the housing market today!
Minneapolis, MN: Rather than issue loans, the VA instead pledges to repay about a quarter of very loan it guarantees in the unlikely event the borrower defaults. That guarantee gives VA-approved lenders greater protection when lending to military borrowers and often leads to highly competitive rates and terms for qualified active duty personal and veterans.

Benefits of VA Loan
Far and away, the most significant benefit of a VA loan is the borrower’s ability to purchase with no money down. Apart from the USDA Rural Development loan, there are essential no other nationwide mortgage loan programs that offer 100 percent financing.
VA loans are also a bit more liberal in the underwriting standards and requirements than many other loans. For example, allowing for lower credit scores than conventional loans. These loans also come with no monthly mortgage insurance (PMI), a added expense that other loans require borrowers to pay unless they put down at least 20 percent of the loan amount.
VA loans offer a few other bells and whistles:
- Down payment as low as 0% up to $484,350 in MN, WI, SD (where we lend). May be higher inother states
- Interest rates that are routinely lower than conventional rates
- No prepayment penalties
- Higher allowable debt-to-income ratios than for many other loans
- Streamlined refinancing loans (called an Earl) – IRRRL loan with no appraisal needed
- Cash out refinance – Get up to 100% of the homes appraised value. Use the money for anything you wish!
Realtor’s are often wrong about VA Loans
Unfortunately, many Real Estate Agents have a unrealistic negative understanding of VA home loans. If you are making an offer on a home with a VA, many agents will improperly advise the sellers to select other offers over a VA loan offer.
Not only is discriminatory, it is flat out wrong, and usually based on old wives tales past around the real estate agent world, versus actual experience from the agent.
If your Real Estate Agent talks negatively about a VA loan – FIRE THEM – IMMEDIATELY!
I ALWAYS contact the listing agent personally when you submit your offer to see if they have any illogical feelings towards VA loans, and if they do, I set them straight!
Second VA Loan (or 3rd, 4th 5th…)
After getting one VA loan, often veterans think they can’t get a second VA loan. That’s not true. Your VA home loan benefits can be used over and over again. In fact, you can actually have two or more VA loans at the same time. If a VA lender has turned you down for a second VA loan you shouldn’t give up. A second VA loan is allowed by the Veterans Administration!
