Barrett Henry, a Military Relocation Professional (MRP) with REMAX Collective, helps Tampa Bay veterans navigate every step of the VA home buying process.
Why Veterans Choose VA Loans
Your military service earned you one of the most powerful home-buying benefits in the country. Here's what makes VA loans different.
$0 Down Payment
The VA loan is one of the only mortgage programs left that allows qualified veterans to buy with zero down payment.
No PMI — Ever
Unlike conventional loans, VA loans never require private mortgage insurance, saving you hundreds per month.
Lower Interest Rates
VA loans consistently offer some of the lowest mortgage interest rates available because they're backed by the government.
