What Can I Afford As A First-Time Home Buyer?
This question is most likely on your mind. As you know, there are many factors that go into determining your mortgage payment and interest rates:
- Debt payments
- Annual income
- Additional costs (home owners insurance, etc.)
- Down payments
Which Loan Should I Get?
Though you have many loan options, if you qualify for a VA loan, it can be a wonderful opportunity for first-time home buyers. These loans are backed by government guarantee and assurance, and come with many benefits. The following are just a few reasons why VA Loans are the preferred options for active and retired service members:
- No Down Payment – Firstly, most homebuyers are asked to put down a 5 percent payment for their conventional loan today. For veterans, that kind of money is a challenge to come up with as you are coming right out of service. For this reason, a VA Loan is a viable solution.
- Easier Requirements – Secondly, VA Loans were made with veterans in mind. Veterans are don’t normally have the time to build up perfect credit in the military. VA Loans are, therefore, easier to qualify for and equipped with competitive interest rates that aren’t swayed by credit scores.
- Manageable Monthly Payments – Since VA Loans don’t require private mortgage insurance, veterans are left with more money in their pockets every month. Over the lifespan of the loan, first-time home buyers can likely save thousands of dollars. Isn’t that great?!
