If you are looking to purchase a home with no money down, you're in luck if you qualify. VA mortgage loans can be guaranteed with no money down in most cases up to $417 thousand dollars. An added bonus? No private mortgage insurance requirement with a VA guaranteed loan. The VA even offers help for those looking to refinance.
