A veteran mortgage often requires no downpayment and frequently offers lower interest
rates than ordinarily available. These loans are often made without any downpayment at all.
Below you'll find a simple loan calculator which allows you to input different
interest rates, VA loan amounts, and mortgage length so you can estimate your monthly mortgage
payment. Plus, you can also see an amortization schedule of a VA loan which will
show you how much of your payment goes towards the principle and how much towards
interest. This loan calculator should be used only as an estimation as it doesn't
allow for taxes and insurance.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION # 19 [ -more VA Loan questions- ] - - - - - - Q: Bankruptcy and VA Eligibility - What happens if I file bankruptcy and wish to buy another home at some point?
A: Veterans who file for bankruptcy are still allowed to use a VA home loan if they are eligible. Unfortunately the process does require a waiting period. You are allowed to purchase another home two years after the "discharge date" of your bankruptcy. Keep in mind that the filing date does not factor in-you must wait the two years after bankruptcy has been discharged. Once you are eligible to buy another home, the usual credit and income requirements apply.
