This Veterans Administration loan program enables veterans and active duty personnel to purchase or refinance a home with favorable loan terms as recognition for their service. VA mortgages require no down payment on many purchase transactions. VA offers an adjustable rate option with an initial fixed-rate period. Interest rates are set at the time of closing and remain constant over the initial fixed-rate period. Once that expires, the rate can increase or decrease on an annual basis based on market conditions.

A VA IRRRL allows those with existing VA-guaranteed loans to refinance with ease. Often no appraisal and minimal paperwork are required in this streamlined refinance. Those who’ve served may also be eligible to lower their principal and interest payments as well. Flagstar Bank offers both fixed- and adjustable-rate terms for this government loan.
