Austin VA Home Loans & Refinancing

A VA home loan is a great benefit to military personnel during and after their service. Joel Richardson, a PrimeLending Branch Manager, has over 20 years of finance experience. He understands the importance of a “home base” for military members and their families, and is proud to be able to help active and retired military use this product to meet their unique needs.

First of all, VA home loans are partly guaranteed (typically a quarter of loan value) by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Furthermore, these loans offer the following advantages:

  • No down payment
  • Higher loan value
  • No private mortgage insurance
  • Limit on closing costs
  • Option for seller to pay closing costs
  • No penalty fee for early payoffs
  • Possible VA assistance if you have difficulty with payments
