What is a VA Loan?

A VA (Veterans Affairs) Loan is a government-backed mortgage specifically for veterans, active-duty military members, and eligible surviving spouses. Mnaged by the Department of Veterans Affairs, this loan offers significant benefits such as no down payment, no private mortgage insurance (PMI), and competitive interest rates.

VA Loans provide various advantages over conventional loans, including more lenient credit requirements and the ability to finance up to 100% of the home’s value. This makes it an excellent option for those who may not have significant savings for a down payment.

I did a bank statement income loan and it chose to not include some deposits. This is just a heads up, not a complaint. Truss is definitely a good company, and I would ABSOLUTELY work with them again. Marcus was honest and helpful throughout the process.
