VA Loan
Text Section
The VA Home Loan Program* was introduced in 1944 to serve veterans, service members, and their spouses. VA loans are backed by the US Department of Veterans Affairs but issued through qualified lenders; Fairway is honored to be one of the largest VA purchase lenders in the country.
VA home loans allow for as little as zero down payment, do not require mortgage insurance, and usually offer more favorable terms than conventional loans. More than 25 million loans have been issued through this program, an indication of the value of this important benefit.
