Many eligible Veterans and servicemembers still do not fully understand some of the biggest VA loan benefits, including the ability to buy without a down payment or PMI.

 

Destinee Stice, Vice President of Loan Origination at NewDay USA (NMLS #1565498), discussed why military benefits can be difficult to keep track of and highlighted options that may help buyers cover closing costs. She also stressed that zero-down financing does not replace financial preparation, including keeping debt low and addressing credit issues before buying.
