What makes a VA loan stand out from the rest?
The VA home loan program was started in 1944 as a part of the GI Bill of Rights following World War II. It was created to benefit veterans and those still serving in the military. As part of the GI Bill, the government created a special government-insured mortgage program to minimize down payments and lower closing costs, helping to make homeownership more accessible and affordable.
VA Home Loan Highlights
