For example, if the home you want to buy appraises for less than the sales price, you'd need to bring some of your own money to the transaction to cover the difference.</p>"},{"question":"Is there a VA loan limit?","answer":"<p class=\"faq-answer\">VA mortgages typically have no <a href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/mortgages/conforming-loan-limits\" data-analytics-product-module=\"body_link\" rel=\"\">loan limit</a>, meaning there's no limit to how large a VA mortgage can be. However, that doesn't mean you can borrow an infinite amount of money. Individual borrowers will only be able to borrow as much as a lender determines they can afford. In certain cases, some VA borrowers will have a reduced entitlement, which means they will be subject to a loan limit.</p>"},{"question":"How do you lock in your VA loan interest rate?","answer":"<p class=\"faq-answer\">A rate lock secures your interest rate so it won't change with fluctuations in the market. You have until five days before closing to lock your rate. When you're ready, you'll let your lender know you want to lock your rate. In general, you'll need to have a signed purchase agreement on a home to be eligible for a rate lock.</p>"},{"question":"How do I get a VA loan?","answer":"<p class=\"faq-answer\">You'll need to apply for a VA loan with a lender that offers these mortgages. To qualify, you'll need to meet minimum service requirements.</p>"},{"question":"Can I refinance a conventional loan into a VA loan?","answer":"<p class=\"faq-answer\">If you want to refinance your conventional loan into a VA loan, you'll need to get a VA <a href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/mortgages/cash-out-refinance\" data-analytics-product-module=\"body_link\" rel=\"\">cash-out refinance</a> to do so.</p>"},{"question":"Do VA loans have a funding fee?","answer":"<p class=\"faq-answer\">Yes, VA loans charge funding fees based on your down payment amount and whether you've used the VA loan program before. This fee can be paid up front or rolled into the loan.</p>"}],"showRecirc":false,"paywall":{"isExempt":true}},"path":"/personal-finance/mortgages/current-va-mortgage-rates","attributes":{"categories":["VA loan","VA loans","mortgage rates","Personal

eligibility, and the benefits of these government-backed home loans for veterans and current military members.","keywords":"","articleBody":"Affiliate links for the products on this page are from

However, our opinions are our own. See how we rate mortgages to write unbiased product reviews.VA mortgage rates are typically some of the lowest available, helping those who qualify keep their monthly payments affordable. Check out our current VA mortgage rates and see if a VA mortgage makes sense for you. Like other mortgage rates, rates for VA loans have increased recently. The good news for VA borrowers is that VA mortgages still offer a significant discount compared to conventional mortgages. Average VA rates were around 59 basis points below average conventional rates last month.In November, 30-year VA mortgage rates averaged around 5.97%, according to Zillow data. This is 32 basis points higher compared to where rates were the month before.Here's how today's VA rates stack up to other types of mortgages.VA rates tend to be lower than conventional mortgage rates, and they're often in line with FHA interest rates. This makes VA loans a good deal, since you can save money on your monthly mortgage payment with a lower rate. Jennifer Beeston, senior vice president of mortgage lending at Rate, says that shopping around and getting rate quotes from multiple lenders is vital if you want to get the best rate available to you.\"I cannot stress enough that if you are a veteran you need to shop the lender on interest rate and lender fee,\" Beeston says. \"We see huge differences in rate and fees based on the lender. The same buyer could be quoted 6.75% and $5,000 in lender fees by one lender and 5.4% with no lender fees by another on the exact same day for the same loan.\"You can also improve your chances of getting a lower rate by improving your credit score or paying down debt to lower your debt-to-income ratio (DTI).Use our mortgage rate graph to get an idea of how rates have changed throughout the past year. Note that these rates are for conventional mortgages, and VA mortgage rates are typically a bit lower than conventional rates.VA loans are a type of government-backed mortgage. The Department of Veterans Affairs provides the backing for these mortgages, called the VA home loan guaranty, and private lenders originate the loans. If a borrower defaults on a VA loan, the VA will compensate the lender for the money it lost.The guaranty makes these loans less risky for lenders, which is why they often come with better rates compared to conventional loans.Though the VA doesn't set a minimum credit score for borrowers, many lenders require VA mortgage borrowers to have a minimum credit score of 620. Some lenders may allow lower scores. You'll also typically need a DTI of 41% or less. VA mortgages don't require a down payment.In addition to meeting your lender's credit standards, you'll also need to meet the VA's minimum service requirements. Those who are eligible include:Some surviving spouses may also be eligible. The VA's website has more detailed information on minimum service requirements.The main benefit of getting a VA loan is that you won't have to make a down payment to get into a home. This is a huge benefit for first-time homebuyers, who often have trouble coming up with a sufficient down payment. However, Beeston says that sometimes a conventional mortgage can offer a better deal if you're able to make a down payment above 20%, since you won't have to pay for private mortgage insurance and you'll avoid the funding fee that comes with a VA mortgage.\"The key is to work with a lender who does both and can walk you through the pros and cons of each for your unique situation,\" Beeston says.For many low down payment loans, borrowers are required to pay for mortgage insurance, which insures the lender against the risk of a low down payment. VA mortgages don't require mortgage insurance, even if you put nothing down.However, VA mortgages do come with a funding fee, which is equal to between 1.25% and 3.3% of the loan amount. Borrowers can pay this fee at closing or roll it into the loan amount.Keep in mind that even if you put no money down and roll your funding fee into your loan, you'll still need to have some cash to pay for closing costs.Because the VA doesn't set a minimum credit score for the mortgages it guarantees, some lenders will accept borrowers with lower scores. You may even be able to qualify with a score as low as 580. But it varies depending on the lender.There are many factors that go into determining your mortgage rate, including both larger economic factors and individual factors.The general range of VA rates available to consumers will depend in large part on current economic conditions and investor demand for mortgage-backed securities.The exact rate you'll get will also be determined by your individual financial profile, including your credit score. The higher your score, the better the rate you'll be able to get.Beeston says that the lender you choose will also have a major impact on the rate you end up with.Use our free mortgage calculator to determine what your monthly payment might look like based on your down payment, interest rate, and the price of the home.VA mortgages generally have lower mortgage rates than fixed-rate conventional mortgages. They often even have lower rates than other types of government-backed mortgages, such as FHA mortgages. But they don't always offer the lowest rates, and it's possible you could get a lower rate with a different type of mortgage.Keeping an eye on current VA rate trends can help give you an idea of the range of rates lenders are generally offering. To get access to the best available rates, you'll need to have a strong financial profile, including a high credit score and a low DTI.In 2023, the largest VA lender by volume was Veterans United, according to the VA, originating almost $17.6 billion in VA mortgages.All VA loans allow no down payment, though you always have the ability to put money down if you want to.In some situations, you may be required to put some money down. For example, if the home you want to buy appraises for less than the sales price, you'd need to bring some of your own money to the transaction to cover the difference.VA mortgages typically have no loan limit, meaning there's no limit to how large a VA mortgage can be. However, that doesn't mean you can borrow an infinite amount of money. Individual borrowers will only be able to borrow as much as a lender determines they can afford. In certain cases, some VA borrowers will have a reduced entitlement, which means they will be subject to a loan limit.A rate lock secures your interest rate so it won't change with fluctuations in the market. You have until five days before closing to lock your rate. When you're ready, you'll let your lender know you want to lock your rate. In general, you'll need to have a signed purchase agreement on a home to be eligible for a rate lock.You'll need to apply for a VA loan with a lender that offers these mortgages. To qualify, you'll need to meet minimum service requirements.If you want to refinance your conventional loan into a VA loan, you'll need to get a VA cash-out refinance to do so.Yes, VA loans charge funding fees based on your down payment amount and whether you've used the VA loan program before. This fee can be paid up front or rolled into the loan.","articleSection":"Personal Finance, Loans, Mortgages","isAccessibleForFree":true,"hasPart":[{"@type":"WebPageElement","isAccessibleForFree":true,"cssSelector":".content-lock-content"}]} </script> <script type="application/ld+json"> {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Are VA mortgage rates always the lowest?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"<p class=\"faq-answer\">VA mortgages generally have lower mortgage rates than fixed-rate conventional mortgages.

This makes VA loans a good deal, since you can save money on your monthly mortgage payment with a lower rate. </p><h3>How shopping around can get you the best rate</h3><p>Jennifer Beeston, senior vice president of mortgage lending at <a href="https://www.rate.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" data-analytics-product-module="body_link">Rate</a>, says that shopping around and getting rate quotes from multiple lenders is vital if you want to get the best rate available to you.</p><p>"I cannot stress enough that if you are a veteran you need to shop the lender on interest rate and lender fee," Beeston says.

The Department of Veterans Affairs provides the backing for these mortgages, called the VA home loan guaranty, and private lenders originate the loans. If a borrower defaults on a VA loan, the VA will compensate the lender for the money it lost.</p><p>The guaranty makes these loans less risky for lenders, which is why they often come with better rates compared to conventional loans.</p><h3>Eligibility</h3><p>Though the VA doesn't set a minimum credit score for borrowers, many lenders require VA mortgage borrowers to have a minimum credit score of 620. Some <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/mortgages/low-credit-score-mortgage-lenders" data-analytics-product-module="body_link" rel="">lenders may allow lower scores</a>. You'll also typically need a DTI of 41% or less. VA mortgages don't require a down payment.</p><p>In addition to meeting your lender's credit standards, you'll also need to meet the VA's minimum service requirements. Those who are eligible include:</p><ul><li>Active-duty servicemembers who have served at least 90 consecutive days</li><li>Veterans who served at least 90 days in wartime or 181 days in peacetime</li><li>National Guard or Reserve members who have served for at least six years or 90 days of active-duty service</li></ul><p>Some surviving spouses may also be eligible. The VA's website has more detailed <a href="https://www.va.gov/housing-assistance/home-loans/eligibility/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-product-module="body_link">information on minimum service requirements</a>.</p><h2 data-toc-label="Benefits" id="benefits" class="toc-anchor">Benefits of VA mortgage loans</h2><h3>No down payment</h3><p>The main benefit of getting a VA loan is that you won't have to make a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/mortgages/how-much-down-payment-for-a-house" data-analytics-product-module="body_link" rel="">down payment</a> to get into a home. This is a huge benefit for first-time homebuyers, who often have trouble coming up with a sufficient down payment. </p><p>However, Beeston says that sometimes a conventional mortgage can offer a better deal if you're able to make a down payment above 20%, since you won't have to pay for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/mortgages/pmi-private-mortgage-insurance" data-analytics-product-module="body_link" rel="">private mortgage insurance</a> and you'll avoid the funding fee that comes with a VA mortgage.</p><p>"The key is to work with a lender who does both and can walk you through the pros and cons of each for your unique situation," Beeston says.</p><h3>No mortgage insurance</h3><p>For many low down payment loans, borrowers are required to pay for mortgage insurance, which insures the lender against the risk of a low down payment. VA mortgages don't require mortgage insurance, even if you put nothing down.</p><p>However, VA mortgages do come with a funding fee, which is equal to between 1.25% and 3.3% of the loan amount. Borrowers can pay this fee at closing or roll it into the loan amount.</p><p>Keep in mind that even if you put no money down and roll your funding fee into your loan, you'll still need to have some cash to pay for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/mortgages/what-are-mortgage-closing-costs" data-analytics-product-module="body_link" rel="">closing costs</a>.</p><h3>Can be easier to qualify for</h3><p>Because the VA doesn't set a minimum credit score for the mortgages it guarantees, some lenders will accept borrowers with lower scores. You may even be able to qualify with a score as low as 580. But it varies depending on the lender.</p><h2 data-toc-label="How is my rate determined?" id="how-is-my-rate-determined?" class="toc-anchor">How is my VA mortgage rate determined?</h2><p>There are many factors that go into determining your mortgage rate, including both larger economic factors and individual factors.</p><p>The general range of VA rates available to consumers will depend in large part on current economic conditions and investor demand for mortgage-backed securities.</p><p>The exact rate you'll get will also be determined by your individual financial profile, including your <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/credit-score/what-credit-score-is-needed-to-buy-a-house" data-analytics-product-module="body_link" rel="">credit score</a>.
