A 30-year VA mortgage is a home loan with a 30-year term that can have a down payment as little as 0% depending on the applicant’s qualifications. It is available to eligible service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses.
These rates and APRs are current as of $date and may change at any time. They assume you have a FICO® Score of 740+ and no down payment, that the loan is for a single-family home as your primary residence and that you will purchase up to one mortgage point.
Mortgage points, or discount points, are a form of prepaid interest you can choose to pay up front in exchange for a lower interest rate and monthly payment. One mortgage point is equal to about 1% of your total loan amount, so on a $250,000 loan, one point would cost you about $2,500. Connect with a mortgage loan officer to learn more about mortgage points.
