VA Loans

Pike Creek Mortgage Services, Inc proudly offers mortgage loan products for active-duty military and veterans in Newark, Delaware. 

A VA loan is a mortgage loan guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that is available to most U.S. service members. VA loans offer a loan guaranty benefit to help eligible veteran borrowers refinance or buy a home. VA loans do not require any monthly mortgage insurance included in the loan amount, and a veteran borrower could purchase a home without putting any money down.

Advantages of a VA Home Loan

  • You can buy a home with no money down.
  • You can refinance for up to 100% of the value of your home.
  • You never have to pay PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance).
  • Sellers can pay your closing costs.
  • VA Loans are usually easier to qualify for because the Government insures the loan so that there is much less risk to the lender.
  • If you already have a VA Loan you might be eligible for a VA Streamline Refinance.
  • Disabled Veterans may qualify for a waiver of the Funding Fee if they receive any disability payments from the VA or if they are considered to be at least 10% disabled.
