VA Loan Highlights
VA Loan Benefits for Bakersfield Veterans
Bakersfield has a strong and growing military community. China Lake Naval Weapons Station (NWS) is located less than 80 miles from Bakersfield, and the region is home to thousands of veterans and active-duty families. Dan Ardis is proud to serve the men and women who have served our country.
Zero Down Payment
Eligible veterans with full entitlement can purchase any Bakersfield home with no down payment — a benefit unavailable with any other standard loan program.
No Private Mortgage Insurance
VA loans have no monthly PMI, saving hundreds of dollars per month compared to FHA or low-down conventional loans. The savings compound over time.
Competitive VA Rates
Because the VA guarantees a portion of the loan, lenders can offer below-market rates. Dan shops multiple VA lenders to find you the best combination of rate and fees.
No Prepayment Penalty
You can pay off your VA loan early, make extra principal payments, or refinance at any time without penalty.
Seller Concessions Up to 4%
Sellers in Bakersfield can pay up to 4% of the purchase price toward your closing costs, funding fee, and other loan-related expenses.
Assumable Loan
VA loans are assumable — a future buyer can take over your loan at your existing rate, which can be a major selling point when rates are higher.
