VA Loan Myths: Debunked By A Veteran & Loan Officer

Featuring Benjicken Smith, Branch Leader

VA Purchase Loan Benefits

One of the primary benefits of a VA loan is that if you qualify, it's 100% financing without requiring mortgage insurance. This could mean hundreds of dollars of savings each year.


There are no lender fees* when you get a VA loan from Movement Mortgage.
Some states even offer property tax reductions to military borrowers (please consult a tax professional).


VA LOANS FOR MILITARY AND VETERANS

 If you’re active-duty military, a veteran or an eligible family member of a military veteran, you may qualify for a Veterans Affairs loan, and one of Movement’s biggest perks – waived lender’s fees*. 


The VA Mortgage is a government-based product offering 100% financing of the reasonable value of the property, with less restrictive qualifying terms than conventional programs.  


 

 

30-year: Minimum FICO


580 minimum FICO and maximum loan amount of $1,000,000; or


680 minimum FICO and maximum loan amount of $2,000,000



 

15-year: Minimum FICO

580 minimum FICO and maximum loan amount of $1,000,000

Note: For loan amounts greater than > $647,200 the maximum loan  amount must include the funding fee when financed (applies to both 15  and 30 year fixed).



HOUSE GRANTS FOR SERVICE RELATED DISABILITIES

Those eligible for an adapted housing grant through Veterans Affairs can get help with a service-connected disability purchase, build an adapted home or adapt an existing home to support their disability.     



If you’re a military veteran looking to buy, refinance a VA loan or want to learn more about VA home ownership benefits, let us know today. 




VA Loan Refinancing

For eligible VA loan borrowers, there may be specific options just for you to be able to refinance your loans:


VA IRRRL  (Veterans Affairs Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan)

Veterans, Retirees and Active Duty Personnel can refinance an existing VA guaranteed loan to reduce the interest rate or switch an adjustable rate to a fixed rate through the VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan (IRRRL). No appraisal or credit underwriting is required unless upon request. IRRRL only requires applicants to certify previous ownership of the home under the loan’s coverage and may be done with no money out-of-pocket by including all costs in the new loan.


VA Cash-Out

This VA refinance option helps eligible military borrowers refinance their home loan to get cash out from built-up equity. Our program also offers the ability for up to a 100% cash out option*.

Disclaimers:


*For qualified borrowers.   This is not a commitment to lend. Other VA-permissible fees may still occur. Programs, rates, terms and conditions are subject to change without notice. Credit and collateral are subject to approval. Equal Housing Opportunity.   


*Excludes other VA-permissible itemized charges. VA loans require a VA Funding Fee that may be financed into the loan or paid out of pocket at closing. 


*In addition to the eligibility criteria outlined in the presentation that all eligible Veterans and Reservists must meet all VA income, asset, and property requirements. 


*For loan amounts exceeding $647,200, the amount of the VA entitlement or the entitlement plus the down payment must equal 25% of the property’s reasonable value.
