What is VA Loan?

What is VA Loan?

Posted on
VA Loan Program
The VA Home Loan Program ensures that all veterans are given an equal opportunity to buy a home in Gilbert AZ with VA assistance. The program helps veterans finance the purchase of homes with favorable loan terms and with an interest rate that is still competitive with conventional or FHA rates.


Who is Eligible for a VA Loan?
The term "veteran", for VA housing loan purposes, includes most past and current members of all branches of the military, members of the National Guard, reservists, and certain categories of spouses. To determine your status online go to http://benefits.va.gov/homeloans/purchaseco_certificate.asp, and apply for a Certificate of Eligibility (COE), which any lender will require prior to processing a VA loan application.

VA Loan Financing Benefits
VA-guaranteed financing is a benefit which Congress intended eligible veterans should have. If you are a veteran home buyer or know of one, it makes sense to look into the VA loan program as a good way to finance a home purchase. Before arranging for a new mortgage to finance a home purchase, veterans should consider some of the other advantages of VA home loans:
  • Most important consideration, no down payment is required in most cases
  • Loan maximum may be up to 100 percent of the VA-established reasonable value of the property
  • Flexibility of negotiating interest rates with the lender
  • No monthly mortgage insurance premium to pay
  • Limitation on buyer's closing costs
Are you considering VA Loan? Contact Us today for more information.

Buying Home in Gilbert? Make sure you get Home Warranty

Posted on

There are laundry lists of things to keep in mind when you start looking for Homes for Sale in Gilbert. You are working with Gilbert Real Estate Agent to find your dream home that meet you and your family needs. One thing your agent will recommend is to get home warranty.

Buying Home in Gilbert? Make sure you get Home Warranty 

What is Home Warranty? Home warranty is service agreement which covers the repair or replacement of many home system component and appliance that break down over time. Home warranty generally covers heating/cooling, plumbing systems and electrical systems and appliances that fail due to normal wear and tear. Not all items are covered by home warranty. Buyers should read the home warranty contract carefully to understand coverages, limitations, and exclusions.

What is Home Owner Insurance? Home owner insurance is different that home warranty. Home owner insurance protect and cover your home in the event of damage due to same calamity befalls your home, such as a fire, a tornado, a burglary, a car crashing through the front wall. Home insurance is mandatory if you have a mortgage on your home, whereas home warranty is a recommended choice.

Why do you need a home warranty? The home warranty protects you against the costly repairs or replacements of appliances or home systems such as heating/cooling. The key thing to keep in mind is that the warranty are intended to help with costs related to normal wear and tear of your home systems. Unlike insurance which is focused on damage due to extreme circumstances.

Do I really need a home warranty? Home warranty is renewable every 12 months and coverage begins on the day your house purchase closes. The real value of home warranty is it is available when you really need it. If your AC broke down during 100+F heat in the summer, you just make a call and service or repair will be performed, provided they meet the terms and conditions of the home service contract. You just have to pay the trade call fee.
