  • Loan can be assumable 
  • Fix and adjustable term
  • Can exceed the county loan limit, will have to come in with 25% down payment from the purchase amount to the county loan limit, example: $300,000 purchase amount and county loan limit is $200,000, $100,000 difference, the buyer only needs to come in with 25% of the $100,000 which equals to $25,000 not the whole $100,000.
  • Seller can pay up to 4% of the buyers closing cost and a added benefit, the seller also can pay an additional 2% towards paying debts off for the buyer to qualify for the loan
  • If the rates should drop, the existing VA loan can be refinanced to the lower rate without an appraisal, no income needed and here in California no need for another termite report 
  • If the Veteran has a connected VA disability of 20% or more the VA funding fee is waived
  • If the Veteran has limited funds for the closing cost the lender can increase the interest rate to give a lender credit to cover the buyers closing cost 
Program guidelines are subject to change without notice and interest rates move daily til you have an open escrow. It does not hurt to explore your purchase options to buy a house in Rancho Cucamonga using your VA eligibility.
