Melbourne, Titusville VA Home Loan
Melbourne, Titusville VA Home Loan

Have you or your spouse served the US military? Are you thinking of buying a home in Brevard County where you can make memorable moments with your family? If yes, then VA mortgage loans may be the best option for you if you are eligible. VA mortgage financing product is exclusively designed to make it easy for both active and retired military members to realize their dream of home ownership. This loan is offered by Florida approved lenders, banks, and brokers to eligible American veterans and to the surviving spouses of veterans provided that they do not remarry.

The Department of Veterans Affairs oversees the VA military loan program and also guarantees a certain portion of each loan, in case of default. In other words, if the veteran fails to make monthly payments and defaults, the Department of Veterans Affairs pays the lender a portion of the loan balance. VA is the only loan program available in Melbourne and Titusville that offers 100% financing with no down payment.  Let’s look at some other benefits below:

  • Loan Limit

In Brevard County  (Melbourne, Titusville, Cocoa Beach) veterans who qualify for the loan can purchase a home worth up to $726,200 without any down payment.

  • No Private Mortgage Insurance

This is a huge benefits as VA loans are backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Banks and lenders don’t require home buyers to purchase Private Mortgage Insurance, unlike conventional loans, in which PMI is a requirement.
