If you’re a veteran and you’re ready for an Alabama VA loan, we’re here to help. VA loans are guaranteed by the United States government and provide an affordable mortgage financing option to borrowers who have served in the United States military without a dishonorable discharge.

Lenders are more willing to offer low interest rates and better loan terms when the loans they’re providing are backed by a government entity. In the case of VA home loans, the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) backs and guarantees the mortgage, and lenders offer low VA interest rates. This allows more veterans and their families to purchase homes, without the high interest rates and unfavorable terms that often accompany new home purchases.
VA loans in Alabama come with low rates and little stress, thanks to the no down payment feature. It is often difficult to secure the funds to pay for the down payment on your home, especially if you’ve served in the military and haven’t had time to focus on building a career and saving money. An Alabama VA mortgage eliminates this problem with 100% financing.
VA loans provide other benefits as well:
These benefits are also extended to surviving spouses.
In order to qualify for a VA loan, you and your property must meet minimum requirements:
If these first qualifications are met, you can meet with a VA loan specialist to discuss any additional qualification requirements. You’ll need to obtain a certificate of eligibility (COE) from the VA office. Visit benefits.va.gov for more information.
You can take out an Alabama VA home loan for more than just a home purchase. You can also refinance your existing mortgage with an Alabama VA Streamline, or IRRRL, refinance. A VA IRRRL refinance may allow you to secure a lower interest rate than what you’re currently carrying on your mortgage, saving you significant income over the life of your loan. It’s a streamlined program, which means it’s fast and easy to complete.
Also available is the VA Cash-Out refinance, which enables borrowers to take equity out of their home in the form of cash and apply the funds however they choose.
Just like any other mortgage program, you must do a thorough search to find the best mortgage rates in your area. Our fast, unique matching process will connect you with up to four qualified lenders in your area who offer the best rates and terms for your VA mortgage.
We maintain the best network of Alabama VA lenders available, with up to date rates and other information. Contact a local lender in your area for detailed information about the VA loan application process and to find out if you qualify. Also, contact a local lender to find out what the VA loan limits are in your area.
