VA Loans

The Veteran Affairs (VA) Loan is an excellent loan for eligible military veterans and their families to qualify for 100% financing of a home purchase or refinance. This product is offered by Lending Hand Mortgage through participating lenders at very competitive interest rates.

The maximum loan amount offered by lenders for a Florida VA loan is $417,000.

Other benefits of a VA loan are more relaxed income and credit restrictions than conventional financing.
