What is the VA Loan?

The government, through the VA Department, created the VA loan program in order to help veterans purchase and refinance their homes.  Many veterans aren’t able to save up money or develop high paying careers while serving in the military, and this loan option helps these brave men and women move into homeownership positions as veterans.

Private lenders supply all VA loans, not the VA itself.  The VA simply guarantees the loans, reducing the risk that lenders take on.  This is what allows lender to give veterans such good rates and terms.

VA Loan Benefits in Wyoming

A list of some of the most valuable benefits offered to veterans through the VA loan program is included here.

• No early repayment penalties apply.  You can pay your loan off swiftly.
• Minimal credit score requirements.
• No PMI.
• No down payment required.
• Differing loan term lengths to choose from.

VA Loan Requirements and Eligibility

If you have basic veteran status, you meet the qualifications for a VA loan.  Basic veteran status in terms of the VA loan program is defined as 90 days of continuous active duty in a branch of the US Armed Services without dishonorable discharge.

You should also possess a minimum credit score of 620. 

If this is you, contact your local VA office to get a certificate of eligibility (COE).  Use this to work with your VA loan specialist to prove that you qualify.

VA Refinance

You can use a VA loan to refinance your current mortgage through a Wyoming VA Streamline refinance, or VA IRRRL.  The Streamline refinance program cuts out some of the paperwork you typically have to fill out during a refinance.  It also eliminates some of the fees associated with the refinance.

Another option is the VA Cash-Out refinance, which enables borrowers to access up to 100% of their home equity and spend it on medical bills, home improvements, tuition and more. Veteran homeowners whose mortgage are backed by an entity other than the VA may refinance into a VA mortgage using the Cash-Out program.
