A VA loan is a mortgage loan available through a program established by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), previously the Veterans Administration. For eligible service members, a VA loan can usually be obtained without a down payment and with a lower interest rate than conventional loans.

What Is a VA Loan

A VA loan is a federally guaranteed mortgage loan available to veterans, military personnel, and certain surviving spouses. The VA loan is a mortgage for purchase (you won’t use it to refinance a loan) and can help eligible military buyers purchase a home with no down payment, or with a down payment of less than $500. You can also use this loan to pay for property taxes, insurance, and other related costs.

How Does a VA Loan Work

The VA loan is one of the most popular loan types available today, and it is the only loan to offer 100 percent financing to eligible military personnel and veterans.

A VA mortgage is a loan for the purchase of a single-family home, condo, townhouse, or mobile home of any value. You can also use a VA loan to buy a smaller lot to build on, making it the only loan that can be used to purchase a home or a property to build on.

How Do I Qualify for a VA Loan

Military members with active duty status, veterans, and surviving spouses are eligible to apply for a VA mortgage. Active duty military members can not have more than four years left on their contract to qualify for a VA loan. The veteran must not be on active duty and any service connected disability must have been rated and received in the VA system to qualify for a VA loan. The surviving spouse of a veteran must wait for specific time periods after the veteran’s death to qualify for a VA mortgage.

How to Apply for a VA Loan

Here are the general steps in applying for a VA loan:

The first step in applying for a VA mortgage is determining whether you are eligible.
Find a lender that is approved to accept VA loans.
Apply for the loan. Because a VA loan is federally guaranteed, your lender will need to fill out an application and submit it to the Department of Veterans Affairs for approval.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will review your loan application and either approve or deny it in a matter of days.
Once the loan is approved, your lender will close the loan with your lender and arrange for the closing.

What Are the Benefits of a VA Loan

The benefits of VA mortgages include:

No down payment or service fee required for most veterans purchasing a home with VA assistance.

A 100 percent guaranteed loan. This means the lender is backed by the federal government, providing protection in the event that your loan goes into default.

Competitive interest rates. VA mortgages offer lower interest rates than conventional mortgages.

Access to mortgage tax deductions. Depending on where you live, you may be able to deduct the mortgage interest payments on your taxes.

Down payment assistance. If you have a down payment of less than 5 percent of the home purchase price and you have a valid VA loan, you may be eligible for the down payment assistance program.

VA loans do not require private mortgage insurance (PMI). PMI is a recurring monthly payment, which is added to your mortgage balance to protect the lender in case you don’t make your mortgage payments.

Your VA Experts at McGowan Mortgages

Getting a VA loan is one of the smartest ways to purchase a home, and it can save military homebuyers a lot of money in interest payments over the long haul.

I'm not one to leave reviews on things, but I felt compelled to leave this one. Our experience with Michael was fantastic. Honestly, I'd leave 6 stars if they let me. Michael was very communicative throughout the entire process to the point of actually anticipating questions that we would have even before we got a chance to ask. Never dealt with someone who actually felt like a true "expert" in the field. I won't use anyone else in the future.

I am thrilled to share my experience with McGowan Mortgages, as they played a pivotal role in helping me purchase my first home after what had been a deeply frustrating journey with two other lenders. My previous attempts werefraught with delays and ultimately ended in heartbreak when both lenders denied my applications after months of waiting. It felt like I was stuck in a limbo, unsure if I would ever achieve my dream of homeownership.When I turned to McGowan Mortgages, I was greeted with a refreshing level of professionalism and genuine care. From the very beginning, they provided me with a clear and actionable plan to raise my credit score, which was crucialin securing my approval. I was able to move into my new home within just 2-3 weeks—an impressive turnaround compared to my previous experiences.What stood out most was the patience and understanding of the McGowan team, particularlyDerek, who worked tirelessly to ensure I was well-informed throughout the entire process. He was always available to address my concerns, no matter the time of day. This kind of support truly made a difference during atime when I felt overwhelmed by the complexities of home buying.Thanks to McGowan Mortgages, I secured an incredible deal: no money down and a competitive 5.2% interest rate. Additionally, when the seller requested more money for the extended wait caused by my previous lenders,Derek kindly offered me a $500 credit to help ease that burden. As a single mom and a veteran, this support was invaluable.I cannot thank Derek and the entire McGowan team enough for their dedication and commitment to helping me realize my dream of homeownership. They provided educational videos to guide methrough the process and kept me on track with timelines, making everything feel manageable and straightforward.In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend McGowan Mortgages to anyone seeking a lending partner. My experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I am now a proud homeowner because of their outstanding service. I would ratethem a firm 10 out of 10!

I am not one to write negative reviews, but I feel compelled to warn future home buyers. Not only did we almost lose out on our deal due to incompetence, but ended up paying $70k more than necessary due to their negligence and deceit. McGowan Mortgages knowingly neglected to lock in my interest rate, and further lied about when the rate was “auto-locked,” resulting in in an added $195.45 to my monthly payment and at least $70,362 to my overall loan. McGowan neglected to notify me of the error until within a couple days of closing; the timeframe had passed for me go with another lender because the seller could back out of the deal since they would not want closing pushed back an additional 17+ days. After confronting McGowan, he yet again lied to me about the best rate he could get, then offered me a slightly lower rate but charged me points to buy down the rate per the final Closing Disclosure. My options were to accept the new, disadvantageous terms or potentially lose the house. As a result, I am paying a higher interest rate which McGowan benefits from financially as his company profits from the loan interest rates. A couple days prior to what was supposed to be my closing date, I was sent a prelim CD that indicated my rate was locked in on 4/26/2024 at 6.375%. I followed up by phone call, text and email to McGowan inquiring about the discrepancy, as we had agreed he would lock in my rate once we went under contract, as is standard practice for loan officers. In McGowan’s late response he shifted the blame claiming he did his best to lock in my rate as soon as possible. Clearly, this was not the case as I went under contract 4/5 and documents show my rate was not locked in until 4/26. McGowan stated he set me up to “auto-lock” once the market reverted to the initially agreed-upon rate of 5.85%. Common knowledge would indicate rates were going to continue to increase, so this was by no means going to lend to my benefit. Multiple professionals in the real estate industry confirmed to me the rising rates were common knowledge - they were never expected to drop. If McGowan would have intended to benefit the consumer, he would have consulted me and asked me if I wanted to lock in the rate or wait it out. Instead, McGowan decided to deceive me for his own benefit. McGowan further stated he was cutting into his own commission to offer me the “best rate” of 6.375%. On the same day, another lender offered me 6.25% with no points. Simply put, McGowan misrepresented 6.375% as a special favor, when in reality 6.25% was the rate of the day. When confronted with this information, McGowan lowered his rate to 6.25% but I ended up having to pay points per the closing disclosure for this lower rate. This was one of several instances in which I felt betrayed as a consumer by McGowan. As a consumer, I did not know much about the behind-the-scenes business of the mortgage world, and trusted McGowan based on how he represented himself and our initial verbal contracts. Unfortunately, I was misled and taken advantage of throughout the entire mortgage application and underwriting process. McGowan did nothing to make it right, nor offer condolences for their negligence. Based on my experience, it is clear that McGowan us abusing his position as a loan officer to take advantage of consumers for his own benefit, offering the “lowest rate” but failing to lock in the rate creating an unfair market and preventing consumers from doing business elsewhere with his “favorable rates.” McGowan is ultimately defrauding consumers who would’ve otherwise benefitted from doing business with other loan officers. When it came time for closing, our closing date was pushed back multiple times because the lender and their third parties couldnt get their paperwork together in time. Some of McGowan's tactics include trying to absolve himself of responsibility by responding to emails and taking our agent of the CC line so he could try and place the blame on our agent, or talking around the issue when confronted with a problem.

08:16 07 Apr 24

As a new agent, I wanted to find a trustworthy lender that I could trust my clients with and guide me through learning about all types of loans, after all that would really help my clients at the end of the day.They were good at first but then after weeks of working with them they were being too pushy constantly calling and texting me all of the time.I had brought 3 clients to Dereck to try to get them pre approved and ready to go for home loans. The only lender that spoke Spanish was in a different state and made a comment to one of my clients that made them uncomfortable (talking about them barely making any money). First red flag.Then there were certain questions that weren’t answered or kind of answered weakly when I would text them but anything they wanted to know they would keep texting over and over and even call constantly, myself and my clients as well.One of my clients was looking at different loan options and after all I assume Dereck got annoyed because he texted me this: “Yes, we're hurrying through the scheduled appointments and skipping the rest of the families as soon as we're off the phone. - Derek, McGowan Mortgages”After I asked if he could give me an estimate asap.Then we talked on the phone and he went off on me talking about how we’re so indecisive and we switch from one loan to another and he can’t just give us an answer and was being quite rude. I even apologized and explained that I am a new agent and I don’t know much about mortgages.But yeah, new agents beware, they get annoyed when you ask too many questions. They’re nice at first but then…not so much. :(Also I heard he yelled and went off on another agent because they wanted to switch lenders.

Derek and his team are always accessible, communicative, and overall wonderful to work with. I definitely recommend them to anybody looking for a mortgage broker. They care and have access to so many lenders, I'm sure they will find a way to make your file work.
