VA LOANS
US Dept. of Veteran Affairs backed financing characterized by no down payment, no mortgage insurance, but with a VA funding fee. It is a great feeling to bring the joy of home ownership to a member of the military. As important as this program is, many are still unsure of the details so I have listed the following highlights:
