VA Loans and Eligibility
VA will guarantee a maximum of 25 percent of a home loan amount
up to $89,912, which limits the maximum loan amount to $359,650.
Generally, the reasonable value of the property or the purchase
price, whichever is less, plus the funding fee may be borrowed.
All veterans must qualify, for they are not automatically
eligible for the program.
VA guaranteed loans are made by private lenders, such as banks,
savings & loans, or mortgage companies to eligible veterans for
the purchase of a home, which must be for their own personal
occupancy. The guaranty means the lender is protected against
loss if you or a later owner fails to repay the loan. The
guaranty replaces the protection the lender normally receives by
requiring a down payment allowing you to obtain favorable
financing terms. If you're thinking of purchasing a home in the
Cleveland Ohio area, contact me for more information or a list
