VA Loan
A VA loan is a mortgage loan in the United States guaranteed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The program is for American veterans, military members currently serving in the U.S. military, reservists, and select surviving spouses (provided they do not remarry). The loan can be used to purchase single-family homes, condominiums, multi-unit properties, manufactured homes, and new construction.
