VA Loans

VA mortgages are labeled as the best mortgage option for eligible veteran or active duty military personnel looking to buy a home.

What Is A VA Loan?

The VA loan is a type of mortgage that is guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and offers long-term financing to eligible veterans in all parts of the country where private financing isn’t necessarily available. The VA loan mortgage was originally created to aid eligible returning service members, surviving spouses, veterans, and their families in finding housing in 1944. Veteran Affairs locate and label specific areas as housing credit shortage areas. These regions are typically rural areas such as small cities and towns on the outskirts of large cities.

Sometimes considered as the most flexible and prominent lending option available on the market today, the VA loan guarantees part of the loan while enabling the lender to offer more favorable terms. Being offered by private lenders, such as banks and Mortgage Companies, this loan pertains to purchasing, building, repairing, retaining, or adapting a home to fit your specific needs if you are a qualifying borrower. We are a certified lender for the VA home loan.

The most significant factor regarding VA Loans is the borrower’s ability to buy a home without placing any money down. With other loans, you are required to pay for private mortgage insurance if you don’t put at least 20% down. The only other programs remotely resembling this type of option are Fannie Mae’s Home Path option and the USDA’s Rural Development Home Loan.

Greenlight Mortgage was referred to me and I couldn't be happier with thier services. As a first time buyer, I had a lot of questions and concerns. The entire team was always available and kept me informed the entire time. A very nice closure was Kenneth being at my closing just to congratulate me and thank me in person. I don't plan on selling my forever home but if I do, I'll will be calling Greenlight Lending!

Kenneth and his team have helped with my refinance and buying a home now. They are very effective, efficent, and very welcoming to every need. Even when the wife started freaking out during parts of the transaction. They stayed calm and professional. I have come to call several of them friends after working with them. They also do not stop when the closing is done. They keep in contact and make you feel special throughout the year. Again this is the best Lender in East Texas

I cannot express enough how pleased I am with every member of the Kenneth Travis team at Greenlight Mortgage. The team as a whole went above and beyond to ensure that our mortgage loan went through smoothly. What could have been an extremely stressful process, was not stressful at all and I'm very appreciative of that. What's even better is that they also offer a moving truck free of charge. I would highly recommend Greenlight Mortgage to family and friends.
