There are GREAT VA benefits, but most Veterans we talk to never mention them to their loan officer! That’s a shame, because there are many times when it might make sense to do a VA home loan as opposed to a Conventional or FHA loan for your mortgage program!
If a Veteran can put a down payment on the home, the funding fee is reduced. For regular military, the funding fee on a 95% loan is only 1.5% and 1.25% on a 90% loan. Reserve members pay 1.75% & 1.5%, respectively.
There’s no MONTHLY fee – which is why it is cheaper than FHA or often times, Conventional PMI.

People always under estimate the huge savings that they can generate by even having a 5% larger down payment.
