VA Loan Tips

VA Loans with Adjustable Rates

Veterans who shop around will learn it's possible to get a fixed rate loan, negotiated with the lender of your choice. Another option? The adjustable rate loan, where interest may be adjusted one percent annually, up to five percent over the duration of the loan period. Which to choose? No matter which way you think is best, do your homework, shop around and get the best rate possible.

Some make the mistake of taking the first offer that sounds fair, but don't be intimidated by the process. You may be eager to get the "hard part" over with and get into a home. Take some time to research the biggest purchase of your life! When in doubt, consult an expert, a legal advisor or a trusted friend in the real estate business. The more research you do, the better you'll feel at closing time.

The VA is in the business of loan guaranty, but the choice of which loan to take is strictly up to you. It's also a good idea to look for businesses who make a habit of cultivating customers who are veterans--you may find their expertise in VA matters quite valuable to reduce unnecessary waiting times on paperwork.
