American Pacific Mortgage Corporation proudly offers mortgage loan products for active-duty military and veterans.
A VA loan is a mortgage loan guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that is available to most U.S. service members. VA loans offer a loan guaranty benefit to help eligible veteran borrowers refinance or buy a home. VA loans do not require any monthly mortgage insurance included in the loan amount, and a veteran borrower could purchase a home without putting any money down.
What can a VA loan be used to buy?: Primary residence home only
Maximum Loan Amount: $484,350 for single family home in Most Counties of Florida. *2019 limits. Monroe County has a higher limit of $529,000. Both amounts listed are the maximums allowed where a down payment wouldn't be required.
Down Payment Requirement: 0% of the purchase price unless the loan amount goes above the Maximum Loan Amount allowed or based on a low appraised value.
Available Loan Terms: 15 and 30 year fixed mortgage
Is Monthly Mortgage Insurance Required?: No. This is a great advantage of VA Loans. But there is an upfront funding fee required at closing, in most cases.
Are there Property Eligibility Requirements: Yes. A home’s general condition is considered during a VA appraisal. VA Minimum Property Requirements or “MPR” are an important part of the VA loan process. One of our VA Loan Specialists can provide the current standards provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Income Eligibility Requirements: No minimum or maximum income limits but you are expected to have a stable, reliable income that can cover your monthly expenses, including the new mortgage payment. You will also be required to meet VA’s residual income requirements and The Kenton Becker Mortgage Team will facilitate this process with you.
Are Seller Paid Closing Costs allowed: Yes. For a VA Loan, the seller may pay up to 4% of the purchase price towards closing costs plus normal fees that they would typically pay.
Are gift funds allowed?: Yes. For VA Loans, a borrower may receive unlimited gift funds for a primary residence purchase.
