What is the VA Loan?

If you’re wondering what a VA loan is, you’re not alone.  Many veterans are unaware or confused about the benefits that the VA loan program offers to them.  The program itself is very simple.

The VA backs loans provided by lenders to veterans, and this backing eliminates some of the risk associated with the loans being made.  This allows lenders to give veterans more competitive options and benefits.

Some of the most common and valuable benefits offered through the VA loan program are listed here.

VA Refinance

You can utilize a Vermont VA Streamline refinance to obtain a lower mortgage rate and save money on your mortgage.  The streamlined option makes this a very fast refinance to work through, and many of the associated fees are eliminated.  With a lower monthly payment and a shorter loan term, you can save significant money on your interest costs.

Also available is the VA Cash-Out refinance, which allows borrowers to withdraw as much as 100% of their home equity as spendable cash. The Cash-Out is also an avenue for eligible non-VA loan borrowers to refinance into a VA mortgage.
