“Valeria was truly the best loan officer anyone could ask for! She was very patient and willing to go the extra mile when needed. She made the whole process stress-free and very easy to understand as well!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience than working with Valeria Duque. Buying a home can be stressful, but she made everything feel easy and manageable from start to finish. She stayed on top of everything, kept me in the loop, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Anytime I had a question, she had an answer and took the time to make sure I understood what was going on. If you’re going through the home-buying process and want someone who actually cares and gets things done right, Valeria is the one you want on your team.”
“As experienced homeowners, we can confidently say that our experience with the DSLD team has been one of the most positive we have had. During the financing stage, we worked with Jeff Miller, who was the most professional mortgage consultant we have encountered. He stayed actively engaged throughout the entire process and made sure we were informed every step of the way, which we greatly appreciated. DSLD Mortgage is doing many things right, particularly in customer care and communication. We would absolutely consider purchasing from DSLD again and look forward to seeing how they continue to evolve and improve.”
A VA Loan is a mortgage backed by the US Department of Veterans Affairs. It helps veterans, active-duty service members, and their families buy homes with great benefits such as no down payment and no mortgage insurance.
You may qualify for a VA Loan if you meet service requirements. Generally, this includes active-duty service for specified periods, veteran status with qualifying service, service in the National Guard or Reserves for a qualifying period, or being the spouse of a service member who died in the line of duty or due to a service-related disability.
The VA funding fee is a one-time payment you make directly to the US Department of Veterans Affairs on a VA-backed or VA-direct home loan. This fee is designed to reduce the loan’s cost, considering that VA mortgage loans don’t require a down payment or private mortgage insurance.
The amount of the funding fee can vary based on factors like your military service type and whether you’ve used the benefit to apply for a VA home loan before. It’s essential to note that some veterans, such as those with service-related disabilities, may be exempt from paying this fee.
One of the main requirements to make a VA Loan application is the Certificate of Eligibility (COE). This certificate proves you meet the necessary service requirements to qualify for a VA mortgage loan. The first step is to gather all of your documents and information. A full list of what you need is available on the USDVA website, and the documentation you need to provide will depend on your service.
Alongside your COE, requirements include satisfactory credit and income, and the home must be your primary residence.
Yes, if you have an existing VA mortgage, you can refinance it through the VA’s Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) program. This program, often referred to as VA Streamline Refinance, allows veterans to take advantage of lower interest rates.Â
The process is typically faster and requires less paperwork than a standard refinancing process. If you’re looking to refinance a non-VA Loan into a VA Loan, you can use the VA’s cash-out refinance loan as an alternative option. This allows veterans to refinance their Conventional or FHA Loan into a VA mortgage, potentially benefiting from the VA’s favorable terms.
No, one of the advantages of specially designed home loans for veterans is the absence of prepayment penalties, meaning if you can pay off your VA Loan earlier than your agreed term, you won’t face any additional charges or fees. That provides a lot of flexibility for veterans, allowing them to manage their mortgage in a way that best suits their financial situation.
