VA Loan Options

If eligible for a VA-guaranteed loan, below are VA loan options to consider.

VA Purchase Loan

Purchase your primary residence, such as a single-family, townhouse, or multi-family up to 4 units, a condo in a VA-approved project, a manufactured home, a farm residence, and even newly constructed homes.

VA Energy Efficiency Mortgage Add-On

The EEM is an add-on that covers the cost of making energy efficiency improvements to a home. VA allows up to $6,000 worth of improvements to be included in your VA purchase or VA refinance.

VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance (IRRRL)

A VA IRRRL (aka Streamline Refi) provides you with a faster way to lower your interest rate when rates drop then traditional refinances.

VA Cash-out Refinance

With a VA Cash-Out Refinance, you can refinance for reasons like refinancing an existing mortgage into a VA Loan, access equity in your property to consolidate debt or for future use, or even to shorten the term.

VA Renovation

The VA Renovation loan is a mortgage program exclusively for veterans, offering the opportunity to cover renovation or remodeling costs in a single loan, simplifying the process and providing flexibility.

VA New Construction

The VA home loan can be used to construct a new residence. You can use the construction loan to build a home on property that you already own or want to buy as part of the loan.

VA Assumption

One feature of the VA home loan is that it is assumable. This means that anyone can assume, or take over your payment on a VA home loan, if they qualify. It is a unique feature that gives you the option to purchase a home with a previously set interest rate or, in a time of need, avoid foreclosure.


Conventional Home Loans

Conventional Loan

Conventional loans are not insured by the FHA or VA. Generally, these are a good option if you have a higher credit score and stable employment history. Interest rates for conventional loans are usually some of the lowest.

HomeOneSM

If you’re dreaming of homeownership but still saving for a down payment, you may be able to buy now with a HomeOneSM mortgage. It only requires a 3% down payment, and you’re not limited to a traditional residence.

Home Possible®

HomeReadyTM

HomeReadyTM is a Fannie Mae® loan program that is designed to extend the privileges of home- ownership to buyers with limited household incomes.


Other Government Home Loans

FHA Home Loan

If you are a first-time homebuyer, an FHA Loan might be a good choice for its relaxed requirements.

FHA Streamline Refinance

If you currently have an FHA mortgage, an FHA Streamline Refinance offers several options.

USDA Home Loan

If you are looking to buy a home in a rural location, a USDA Loan can be ideal if you do not quali- fy for a conventional loan.


Other Renovation Loans

HomeStyle® Renovation Loan

Remodel, renovate or repair your home with HomeStyle® Renovation loan from Fannie Mae. HomeStyle® is also available for new and existing homes – even new construction.
