VA Loans
VA guaranteed loans are made by lenders and guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) to eligible veterans for the purchase of a home. The guaranty means the lender is protected against loss if you fail to repay the loan. In most cases, no down payment is required on a VA guaranteed loan up to your county VA Loan Limit, and the VA Loan rate is usually lower than is typically available with other loans.
We offer VA Loans & VA Jumbo Loans with loan amounts up to $2m. No down payment required for qualified Veterans with full entitlement available.
We also offer VA Loans & VA Jumbo Loans with loan amounts up to $2m for Veterans with partial VA Entitlement available with the appropriate down payment. This is for situations where you may still have a home with VA Financing, or had a prior VA Loan that resulted in a charge against entitlement. The down payment is based on your County VA Loan Limit, your Available VA Entitlement, and the purchase price of the home. Give us a call to help calculate your options.
Other benefits of a VA loan include:
- Competitive interest rates.
- Available up to $2m with no down for qualified Veterans with full VA Entitlement available.
- Closing costs comparable – and sometimes lower - than other financing types.
- No private mortgage insurance requirement.

- Mortgage can be taken over (or “assumed”) by the buyer when a home is sold.

I have specialized in VA Loans and VA Jumbo Loans since 2008. It is my honor to assist Veterans and Active Duty Military utilize their VA Home Loan Benefit. ~ Brian Skaar, Branch Manager, VanDyk Mortgage.
Although mortgage insurance is not required, the VA charges a funding fee to issue a guarantee to a lender against borrower default on a mortgage. The fee may be paid in cash by the buyer or seller, or it may be financed in the loan amount. (the most common path)
A VA loan can be used to buy a home, build a home and even improve a home with energy-saving features such as solar or heating/cooling systems, water heaters, insulation, weather-stripping/ caulking, storm windows/doors or other energy efficient improvements approved by the lender and VA.
