VA Loan Tip #16 for Veterans

The Veterans Benefits Act of 2004

The Veterans Benefits Act of 2004 made many changes to the VA loan process. If you haven't had to get eligibility or otherwise deal with the VA for a loan since the act passed, you may be surprised at the changes. One of the major differences; the maximum guaranty amount of $60,000 has been modified. Now, for qualifying loans in excess of $144,000, the maximum is a sum equal to 25 percent of the Freddie Mac conforming loan limit, which is determined under the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Act. If you feel your VA mortgage may be affected by changes created by the Veterans Benefits Act, contact your lender for more information.

Q: The VA Guaranteed Loan - Advantages

A: If you are looking to purchase a home with no money down, you're in luck if you qualify. VA mortgage loans can be guaranteed with no money down in most cases up to $417 thousand dollars. An added bonus? No private mortgage insurance requirement with a VA guaranteed loan. The VA even offers help for those looking to refinance. Don't investigate these benefits without asking for information about the interest rate reduction loan, part of something called the Streamline Refinancing Program, which allows veterans to refinance at little or no expense to them.
