Veteran Home Ownership – VA Home Loan Program 101
For many military members, achieving homeownership is still a part of the American dream in which they strive to obtain, and for most of them, the VA Home Loan program is the best lending option available. Unfortunately, however, most veterans and active duty service members don’t know much about the program in spite of it having served over 19 million military members for nearly 70 years.
In fact, out of the 25 million veterans eligible for the VA home loan, less than 13 percent have actually used them partly because they believe that they wouldn’t qualify for the program. So if you have a military member in your life, consider mentioning the program to them.
VA Home Loan Program
The Perks of the Program
The conventional lending market has become much more strict in the wake of the housing crisis making it nearly impossible for some to purchase a home. The VA home loan program is partially backed by the U.S. government, which allows the program to provide affordable and accessible lending options in addition to perks that can’t be found with conventional lending. Such benefits of the VA Home Loan program include:
- High loan limits
- No down payment required
- No Private Mortgage Insurance
- No penalties for pre-payment
What You Should Know
Most veterans who are aware of the VA home loan program do know of the money saving perks such as no private mortgage insurance; however, there are other loan specifics that many aren’t aware of. Additional, and commonly unknown information, which is highly beneficial to know include:
- Only Primary Residences Allowed. In order for a lender to qualify for a VA home loan, they need to be purchasing a single family home that will serve as a primary residence. Properties being purchased to serve a dual purpose such as a retail business and residence or bed and breakfast and residence will not qualify.
- You Can Use it More than Once. As long as your loan is paid off, military members can use a VA home loan or VA refinance as many times as they would like.
- There Is a Funding Fee. Although there is no down payment, the VA home loan does require a funding fee which is generally 2 percent of the home loan amount.
- Bankruptcy and Foreclosure is Okay. Even those with imperfect employment, income, and credit histories have been approved for a loan in the past. So even if a veteran has had to file for bankruptcy or foreclosure in the past, as long as they have proven responsible spending habits since, they may still be approved.
If you have any veterans in your life wishing to purchase a home, make sure they know about the VA Home Loan program. Although the VA home loan may not be the best option for all veterans, they should still know about the program so it does remain an option. If you or a military member you know has any questions regarding the VA home loan, contact a VA home loan specialist.
Special thanks to Kevin Pearia, a mortgage commentator for Veterans United Home Loans, the nation’s leading dedicated provider of VA home loans, for contributing to this blog post.

The Santa Barbara Riviera is one of the most desirable Santa Barbara home locations for prospective buyers and the top choice of our blog readers for the “top neighborhood” that locals wanted us to highlight with routine market updates. Homeowners on the Riviera experience the breathtaking views of the city and Pacific Ocean and residents can catch a stunning vista of the water as they drive along APS, as well as mountain views north from Foothill Road to Sycamore Canyon Road while driving through the backside of the Riviera. The majority of the Riviera is fairly steep, which provides the foundation for hundreds of mostly two and three-story custom homes tucked into the sloped landscape. While these homes command higher than average Santa Barbara real estate prices, there have been some excellent values as of late.

San Roque Santa Barbara consistently draws the most interest from Santa Barbara home buyers. Quality-built homes, family friendly streets, and convenient access to excellent shopping and dining make it an ideal location for many. Residents enjoy close proximity to downtown Santa Barbara (approximately 5 minutes) but without the noise, traffic, and parking issues.
Few residential neighborhoods of Santa Barbara can boast the rich historical background of the San Roque. Now a built-up, economically stabilized suburb, it is admired for its sweeping curved streets, its luxuriant landscaping, and its harmonious blend of many architectural themes (Spanish Colonial, English Tudor, French Normandy, California Redwood, Italianate and American Colonial), mostly built since 1925. Only half built up by 1940, the San Roque district filled in most of its home sites between 1955 and 1965. (San Roque History by Walker A. Tomkin)
