VA Home Loans

The VA Home Loan Program For Arizona Veterans

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 reward those currently serving in the military and veterans that have served. As part of the GI Bill, the government created a special government insured mortgage program to minimize down payments, lower closing costs, and help those currently serving and veterans achieve the dream of home ownership.

• One of the primary benefits of a VA mortgage is that in most cases a down payment isn't required. It is one of the only home loan programs in the country without a required down payment or private mortgage insurance. VA allows Veterans to pay up to 1% of their loan amount toward VA non-allowable fees.
• VA interest rates and APR's tend to be lower when compared to other home loan mortgage programs. Individual interest rates for VA Loans are still dependent on your personal situation. Those factors that can affect VA interest rates include your credit scores, how much your down payment is, the value of the home, etc.

From Flagstaff to Yuma, from Tucson to Kingman and all Arizona cities in between we provide unmatched service and communication with the ability to serve you wherever and however you need.
