VA Loan Programs

About VA Loans

When buying or refinancing a home, there are many benefits for those eligible for a VA home loan. Typically, these include more lenient qualifications for loan approval, lower interest rates, no required down-payment, and no required private mortgage insurance.

If you have a client that is serving or has served in the military and is looking to purchase or refinance a home, the VA home loan is an incredible benefit that should be considered. Contact a Mutual of Omaha Mortgage Wholesale Account Manager to determine VA eligibility or give us a call at 1-844-499-1173.
