The VA Home Loan program allows veterans with qualifying income and credit to purchase a primary residence without putting any money down towards the sale price of the home, as long as that sale price does not exceed the appraised value of the home.
The VA is in the business of guaranteeing the loans of veteran. So, it is important to understand that the Veterans Administration does not normally act as a lending agent. In many cases, the VA will offer a guaranty to those who meet their list of requirements, the first of which include a good credit rating. If you are interesting in VA financing in California, Call San Diego Mortgage Group to gain an understanding of your best options.
It's important to know that a VA home loan guaranty is available only if the veteran has the income to handle house payments. A VA loan guaranty is not an automatic benefit. Your financial planner or credit counselor can go a long way towards helping you prepare your personal finances before filling out that home buyer's paperwork.
