Guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, VA loans help veterans, active-duty members and military spouses purchase and refinance homes with competitive interest rates, flexible credit guidelines, and little to no down payment requirement. Several variations exist, including VA Purchase Loan, VA Interest Rate Reduction Loan (IRRL), also called VA Streamline Loan and VA Cash-Out Refinance.
