Use A VA Loan For Home Improvement: Part One
August 31st, 2008If you are a military veteran who is seeking financing assistance in the form of VA loans you may want to consider a VA home improvement loan. Obviously, these types of loans will be primarily used to make needed repairs to an existing residence. In most cases, a VA loan is a preferable alternative to traditional loans obtained for the same purposes because they are normally less expensive.
These specific VA loans may be used for any repair or remodeling in your home.
Veterans are able to borrow up to 90% of their home equity to pay for almost any sort of home improvements. Where only recently there were spending caps on these types of VA loans, of around $25,000, now veterans do not need to worry about these limits. Rather than using a mortgage, you can obtain a loan of $3,000 or less with a simple guarantor.
There are some further advantages of using this form of VA loan other than obtaining funds to do some needed repairs to your house or remodeling.
