VA home loans are often among the best loans available to those who have earned them, with exceptionally competitive interest rates. VA home loans are available to a variety of service personnel and in some instances even extend to their families. As well as competitive interest rates, VA home loans feature 0% down payments and no monthly mortgage payments, making them extremely affordable compared to conventional loans. If you’re a veteran looking to purchase your dream home or refinance an existing property, Security America Mortgage is here to help with affordable VA home loans enabling you to secure the home of your dreams.
VA home loans are a special type of loan available to veterans. While they’re issued by private lenders, they’re backed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, which guarantees up to 25% of the loan. This makes VA loans a lower-risk investment for lenders, allowing them to offer more competitive interest rates and other favorable terms. VA loans are available to veterans, active service members, and certain military spouses. For the majority of those who are eligible, VA loans offer some of the most generous terms on the market, with extremely competitive interest rates, no down payments, and no private mortgage insurance payments. VA home loans can be used to buy a property or to refinance. What’s more, the credit score requirements for VA loans are usually more relaxed than for other conventional loans, and there’s no maximum loan limit. This makes them an accessible, affordable loan solution that Oregon veterans should absolutely take advantage of.
The main requirement to be eligible for a VA home loan is a Certificate of Eligibility from the DVA showing that the applicant has completed the necessary length of service to be eligible for the loan. VA home loans are issued by private lenders, which means there are no mandated income or credit requirements – each lender decides their own terms. Since the DVA’s guarantee makes VA loans a lower-risk investment for lenders, they’re usually more flexible in terms of credit requirements, which can make them a more accessible loan option for eligible veterans. Because there are no legal mandates on VA home loans, Security America Mortgage is able to offer VA home loans that are easy to qualify for, with relaxed credit requirements and a simple application process. We pride ourselves on serving those who have served by helping them quickly and easily get the finance they need for their dream home.
As of 2020, the limit on VA home loans for veterans with full entitlement was removed. This means that if you’ve never used your home loan Oregon benefit, paid a previous VA home loan in full and sold the property, or repaid the loan in full after a short sale, the DVA will guarantee up to 25% of the loan amount, and you won’t have to pay a down payment. However, if you take out a VA home loan with remaining entitlement – such as when you already have a VA home loan you’re still paying back – then your VA home loan limit is based on your county’s loan limit. In this case, if you default on a VA home loan, the DVA will only pay the lender up to 25% of the county limit minus any entitlement you’ve already used.

VA home loans offer a variety of benefits to Oregon veterans, allowing you to more easily purchase the home of your dreams.
One of the biggest obstacles to homeownership is being able to save up money for a down payment. Since a VA loan doesn’t require a down payment, this obstacle is removed, allowing qualified veterans to buy the home they deserve more easily.
VA home loans offer highly competitive interest rates. In fact, VA home loan interest rates can typically range anywhere between 0.25 and 1% lower than comparable standard loans.
The VA funding fee is a payment made to the VA to lower the cost of a federal VA loan to taxpayers. However, veterans don’t have to worry about this, as the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs.
Normally, home loans require that borrowers who can’t pay a 20% down payment on a home must pay private mortgage insurance to protect the VA approved lender. However, being that the DVA guarantees 25% of the VA loan, this requirement is negated allowing veterans to avoid costly monthly mortgage insurance payments.
A VA loan allows you to negotiate with the seller to pay up to 4% of the purchase price towards your closing costs. Allow Security America Mortgage to help you obtain a Florida VA loan and you could close with very little to no out of pocket costs.
Since there are no prepayment penalties on a VA loan, you’re free to refinance to take advantage of lower interest rates. Security America Mortgage can even help you refinance to quickly and easily turn up to 90% of your property’s value into cash in Florida.
You don’t have to live in Oregon already to apply for the ODVA home loan program – as long as you occupy the home within 60 days of closing, Security America Mortgage can help you use an ODVA loan to buy a home in Oregon no matter where you currently live.
The basic requirement for Oregon VA home loans is that you’ve served on active duty in the United States Armed Forces. However, your service needs to meet one of these specific service criteria to qualify for a VA home loan:
VA home loans also extend to the spouses of veterans under certain circumstances. Un-remarried spouses of veterans who died while on active duty or as a result of a service-connected disability can apply for VA home loans as long as they can show that they receive Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, or if they can provide a Report of Casualty and their marriage certificate.
VA home loan rates may differ based on your credit score, loan type, loan duration, and the current state of the market.
Loan credit requirements for VA home loans are set by the lender, meaning they can differ from mortgage company to mortgage company. Most lenders require a minimum credit score of 620. Some lenders may also accept lower credit scores; however, in these instances, they are likely to offer higher rates than they would for applicants with higher credit scores.
In Oregon, you can apply for up to 4 ODVA loans in your lifetime. However, you may only have one active ODVA home loan at a time.
Not necessarily – VA loans are a specific niche in the market, and not every mortgage company provides them. Even if a general mortgage company does provide VA loans, you’re better off choosing a VA loans specialist like Security America Mortgage – we have the specific expertise and experience to guide you through the process and make the most of your loan entitlement.
Generally, the law states that a VA home loan must be used for a home you intend to occupy within 60 days of closing. However, in some cases, this occupation requirement may be fulfilled by your spouse or dependant alone (as long as it is intended to be your own primary residence eventually as well). You cannot use a VA home loan to buy a property that is solely intended as an investment. However, they can be used to purchase properties with up to four units, meaning that as long as one of these units is your primary residence the other three may be used as income properties.
