VA Mortgage Rates

Have you ever wondered why interests rates are what they are and what determines the final rate?  Why borrowers receive different interest rates? Or why rates go up and down?  Interest Rates are calculated using several factors.

  • Demand for Securities
  • Property securing the Loan
  • occupancy of the property
  • Loan to value of the property
  • Borrower’s credit Rating

VA stands for “Veterans Administration”, which is cabinet level executive branch department of the federal government overseeing all Veteran Benefits including home loans. Established in 1944 as part of the GI Bill of Rights, VA set out to help men and women who served their country catch up to their civilian counterparts by establishing credit and building financial wealth. A major part of this initiative was making home ownership attainable.  VA Home Loans are for active duty service members, active reservists, honorably discharged service members, as well as retired and disabled service members.

It’s important to understand that VA does not lend money, VA instead provides lenders a guarantee that covers the lender from loss in the event of foreclosures.  In simple terms VA insures a portion of the loan that the buyer would have normally had to put down to qualify allowing for a zero down payment. VA loans do require an upfront mortgage insurance fee, which can be financed into the loan, or paid at closing.  This fee supports the guarantee fund and makes the 100% VA home loan possible.  Veterans with a minimum of 10% disability are exempt from the funding fee.

“Veterans Administration” (VA) is the organization in charge of managing all benefits for veterans, including home loans. A component of the GI Bill or Rights, it was founded in 1944.  The goal of VA was to enable veterans, both male and female, become financially secure and up to speed with their civilian counterparts by creating credit.

It’s important to realize that the VA does not provide loans; rather, it offers lenders guarantees that protect them against loss in the case of foreclosures. To put it simply, VA allows for a 0% down payment by insuring a portion of the loan that the buyer would have otherwise needed to put down in order to qualify.  Each borrower of a VA loan is required to pay an upfront mortgage insurance charge, which can be incorporated into the loan. The guarantee fund is maintained by these fees, which also enables the 100% VA home loan. Veterans are not required to pay the financing fee if their handicap is at least 10%.
