VA Home Mortgage Loans

Veterans mortgages, also known as VA home loans, serve all of the same functions as a conventional loan, and can be used to buy or refinance a home.

Over the years, Blue Water Mortgage has helped service members and veterans from throughout New England apply for and get qualified for VA home loans through a variety of private lenders and local banks.

What is a VA Home Loan?

A VA home loan is a mortgage loan issued by approved lenders and guaranteed by the federal government. A VA home loan is considered to be one of the most “unique and powerful” loan programs ever created.

Benefits of VA Home Loans

  • No down payment
  • No cash reserves
  • No application fee
  • No monthly mortgage insurance premiums
  • VA funding fee may be financed
  • Seller can pay certain closing costs thus decreasing the closing costs for borrower
  • Low interest rates compared to other loans
  • Similar qualification standards to conventional loans

What Are the Qualifications for a VA Loan?

A VA home loan is available to service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses. Specific requirements vary depending upon your individual needs, but are mostly straightforward. Qualifications for a VA home loan include:

  1. Satisfactory credit
  2. Sufficient income to meet the expected monthly obligations
  3. A valid Certificate of Eligibility
  4. Must meet service requirements according military status
