VA Loans
A VA loan is a mortgage secured by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and issued by a private lender. VA loans can make it easier to buy a home because they don't require a down payment, and there is no MI. There are also different qualifying DTI factors with VA loans, making it easier for veterans to qualify.

​
VA Income Qualifications
​
VA loans qualify borrowers off two existing factors... A debt-to-income ratio of 41% OR the borrowers "residual income." Residual income is the money left to cover basic living expenses, such as food and clothing, after paying debts, housing and other obligations.

VA Funding Fee
​
The cost of the funding fee is determined by the size of your down payment, or the Loan To Value ratio, and whether it’s the first-time you’re getting a VA loan or whether you’re buying or refinancing the property.
Surviving spouses, veterans who receive disability and Purple Heart recipients serving in an active-duty capacity are exempt from funding fees.
The VA funding fee can be rolled into your mortgage, similar to the upfront mortgage insurance premium of an FHA loan.
