Why Are Standard VA Purchase Loans So Great?
The VA Home Purchase Program is one of the most attractive purchase loans due to its low cost as well as flexible underwriting process that allows for compensating factors. For example a high credit score, low debt to income ratio, or even assets can help offset negative factors on your application. A VA lender may even consider other types of payment history like rent or utilities when making a decision on an approval. This common sense type of manual underwriting can make the difference when it comes time to get approved for your VA loan. In addition to this by not having a down payment requirement it will save the veteran literally thousands at closing.
