    VA Home Purchase with Zero Down Payment

    A VA Loan allows our military personal to buy a home with NO DOWN PAYMENT and finance 100% of the home's purchase price. Heck, even for a million dollar home!

    Now more than ever, banks are requiring larger down payments for conventional loans with more expensive mortgage insurance.

    Down payment requirements are one of the biggest obstacles to home ownership.

    VA loans have NO PMI = Lower Monthly Payments

    A VA Loan offers a HUGE savings benefit. They do NOT require monthly PMI, or private mortgage insurance. PMI is an added monthly expense required for conventional loans and FHA loans where the borrower finances more than 80% of the home's value to offset the lenders risk.

    Interest rates are also typically lower with a VA Loan, than a conventional loan. A lower rate combined with monthly PMI savings can substantially lower your monthly payment.

  • Getting VA Qualified is Easier

    The qualification guidelines are less stringent for VA Loans. Because the loan is backed by the government, lenders don't need to meet strict lending rules.

    • VA Home Mortgage Loan Advantages vs Other Mortgage Loan Options

    • VA home loans have no prepaid without penalty if you pay extra or sell the home

  • VA Jumbo Loans

    NEW RULES AS OF JANUARY 2020

    Any purchase price, including Jumbo loans are now allowed to be a no down payment option effective January 1, 2020.

    Previously, VA loans only had a no down payment option up to the local area conforming loan limit, with Jumbo VA loans needing a small down payment that equaled between about 5% - 10%, which caused problems for many veterans, especially in high priced home markets like California and Hawaii.

    This new rule eliminated that down payment requirement for all home of all prices!  Very cool!

  • Income Guidelines For A VA Home Loan

    When buying a home in Minneapolis, St Paul, Milwaukee, Madison, Pierre, Aberdeen, or all of MN, WI, IA, ND, and SD, the VA still requires a borrower to have sufficient and adequate income to cover the repayment of the mortgage.  Before a borrower can be approved for a VA home mortgage loan, the stability of income and the continuance of the borrower's income must be established through acceptable sources of income, the borrower's past employment record, and the employer's confirmation of continued employment must be established. 


    Stability of a person's income is generally derived from their employment history.  VA requires verification for the previous two full years and must be documented through lender verification of previous employment or W-2's.  This income must be analyzed to determine whether it can be expected to continue through the first 3 years of the mortgage loan (if the borrower intends to retire during this period, the expected retirement income, social security benefits, etc. should be used).  Any gaps in employment must be reasonably explained by the borrower.  Schooling or education for  the borrower's profession (e.g. nursing school) can be counted towards the 2 year requirement.  Allowances for seasonal employment, such as is typical in the building trades for example, may be used. 

    The VA Funding Fee

    In order for VA to guarantee the home loan in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, or South Dakota, there is a closing cost assessed by the VA to originate the loan called a funding fee. This fee will vary, depending upon the type of VA loan, whether this is your first time to use your entitlement, if you are a disabled veteran, the down payment and if you served active duty or in the National Guard/Reserves.

    The VA funding fee is required by law. The fee, is intended to enable the veteran who obtains a VA home loan to contribute toward the cost of this benefit, and thereby reduce the cost to taxpayers. The funding fee for second time users is a bit more expensive. The idea of a higher fee for second time use is based on the fact that these veterans have already had a chance to use the benefit once, and also that prior users have had time to accumulate equity or save money towards a down payment.
