What is a VA Loan?
VA loans are mortgages guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Because the VA backs a portion of the loan, lenders take on less risk — which means they can offer better terms to qualifying borrowers, including zero down payment and no private mortgage insurance (PMI).
For veterans and active duty service members buying in Bakersfield, or anywhere in the USA, VA loans often provide among the most competitive monthly payments and overall lifetime cost of any mortgage option available.
