Home Loans

Veterans Affairs provides a home loan guaranty benefit, as well as other programs to help Servicemembers, Veterans, and eligible surviving spouses buy, build, repair, retain, or adapt a home for occupancy. Because the VA guarantees a portion of the loan, private lenders are able to provide more favorable terms. Eligibility for specific home loan benefits is based on length of service or service commitment, duty status, and character of service.
