VA Loan Rates – Apply for a VA Loan or Streamline Refinance

Get a home loan for up to $417,000 with the VA Loan.

Did you know that if you are currently in the military or are a military veteran that you may be eligible to participate in the VA Loan program? VA Loans are one of the best benefits programs that are available to almost all veterans – and one of the best kept secrets!

A VA Loan is a home loan that is guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and can be used to purchase or refinance a home.

VA Loan Rates

If you are shopping for VA Loan rates, you can use the chart below to give you a good idea of what kind of rates you may be eligible for. Keep in mind that rates vary based on many factors, including your region, the price of your home, your credit score, and other factors. You will need to contact a lender and apply for a loan to get an accurate quote. See our VA Loan refinance calculator below this chart.

VA Loan Refinance – Potential Savings

You may be able to save hundreds of dollars per month by refinancing your VA loan, and tens of thousands of dollars over the course of your loan. To determine how much you can save, you can find a mortgage refinance calculator online and enter your current loan details (interest rate, term, and loan amount) and compare it to the terms of your new loan. The calculator will show you how much you can save over the course of refinancing your loan. Keep in mind the rates in the above chart aren’t a guaranteed offer at that rate. A loan you will be offered will depend on your location, credit score, home value, amount of loan, size of down payment, and other factors. If the numbers work out in your favor, you may consider refinancing.
