The Atlanta National Bank is proud to now offer VA Loans for our customers who are military veterans. These loans are backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and allow veterans to buy homes with little or no down payment or to refinance existing home loans. And because VA Loans don’t require mortgage insurance, our customers can save even more money from their monthly payments.
VA Loan can be used for 1-4 unit properties, including condos* and detached Planned Unit Developments (PUDs), provided the Veteran borrower occupies one unit. Terms are for 20- and 30-year fixed-rate first mortgages, with maximum loan amounts being up to the current government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) conforming loan limit.
(*Condos must meet VA Minimum Property Standards – ask your lender for details.)
