A VA loan is a federal program for veterans, members of the military, or a surviving spouse of a veteran purchasing a primary residence. A VA loan allows a qualified borrower to finance 100% of the home’s value and purchase with no down payment.
Our Loan Officers will work with you to determine which type of loan best suits your needs and budget. Contact your local branch and ask to speak with a Loan Officer.
