Take Advantage of VA Refinance Loans and VA Home Loans From our Mortgage Company in NJ

You’ve served your country and should be rewarded for your commitment and honor. At Jersey Mortgage Company in NJ we are dedicated to helping veterans obtain superior Veteran Affairs (VA)-backed loans with unsurpassed personal service. We are one of the leading VA Loan- approved lenders in the country.

Whether you’re buying your first home or seeking VA refinance loans, as a Veteran you qualify for all the outstanding benefits this loan provides. There is virtually no “red tape” involved and it includes 100% financing with no money down, with less stringent underwriting standards and requirements than conventional loans. 

Congress created the VA Home Loan Guarantee Program in 1944 to help returning service members achieve the dream of home ownership. Since then, the Department of Veterans Affairs has helped more than 18 million military members purchase homes and get VA refinance loans. In fact, according to the US Department of Veterans Affairs about 80% of VA borrowers could not have qualified for a conventional home loan.

VA refinance loans and finance loan requirements

The application process for VA refinancing or financing is no different from any other type of loan. In fact, the VA application form is the same as that used for HUD/FHA and conventional loans. We'll verify the applicant's income and assets, and obtain a credit report to see that other obligations are being paid on time

 

Requirements for VA Home Loan approval

• The loan must be for an eligible purpose
• The veteran must be a satisfactory credit risk
• The veteran must occupy or intend to occupy the property as a home within a reasonable period of time after closing the loan
• The income of the veteran and spouse, if any, must be shown to be stable and sufficient to meet the mortgage payments, cover the costs of owning a home, take care of other obligations and expenses, and have enough left over for family support
