The benefit you earned through service: up to 100% financing, no monthly PMI, and competitive rates.
VA loans are among the most powerful programs available. If you're a veteran, active-duty service member, or eligible spouse, this is often the best path to homeownership — with lower monthly costs than comparable loans.
Full VA loan details →A friendly on-ramp to homeownership with low down payments and forgiving credit requirements.
Insured by the Federal Housing Administration, FHA loans let you buy with as little as 3.5% down and are often more flexible on credit history — making them a favorite for first-time buyers and those rebuilding credit.
Strong rates and flexible terms for buyers with solid credit — and PMI that drops off as you build equity.
Conventional loans work for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties. Put down as little as 3% on some programs, and once you reach 20% equity, mortgage insurance can be removed — unlike some other loan types.
Put your equity and today's market to work — lower your payment, shorten your term, or consolidate debt.
Whether you want to reduce your interest rate, drop mortgage insurance, consolidate high-interest debt, or take cash out for a big goal, I'll run the numbers honestly and only recommend a refinance if it truly benefits you.
