VA Loans: Purchase & Refinance Loans for Veterans
The Veterans Administration loan program enables veterans and active duty personnel to purchase or refinance a home with favorable loan terms. The Department of Veterans Affairs guarantees a VA loan but each lender, mortgage broker and loan officer performs on an individual level. When you work with Cleveland Mortgage it is all about you! Our loan officers work closely with Veterans, active military personnel and military spouses who qualify in order to make the process efficient, transparent and stress-free.
VA Home Loans: No Down Payment and Low Interest Rates
Do you know what your benefits are as a veteran? The VA loan program offers some of the most attractive and flexible loans available, and they are exclusively for military personnel, veterans and their families. The two biggest benefits that make a VA loan more affordable than a conventional loan are that the borrower typically does not need to make a down payment, and there is no private mortgage insurance (PMI) requirement.
At Cleveland Mortgage our loan officers educate each veteran on all aspects of the mortgage process. We give impeccable service and make the process efficient, transparent and stress free. We will strive to get each customer the best financing terms possible, while also supporting and giving back to our local community. Thank you for your service, now let us serve you!
