Homeowners and homebuyers are naturally interested in mortgage interest rates because the rate they pay for their home loan is one factor that determines their monthly housing payments and the total cost of owning their home over time.
Homebuyers who need a mortgage and homeowners who want to refinance an existing loan have many options from which to choose. Among them are conventional loans and VA loans.
If you're eligible for a VA loan, this type of home mortgage should definitely be on your short list of loans to consider. That's because the VA loan, backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans of Affairs, offers the most attractive package of benefits of just about any home loan available today.
Refinancing typically involves closing costs and paperwork, but for homeowners who have a VA loan guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the path to refinancing can be simple and affordable.
