As a top benefit of military service for eligible veterans, service members, and surviving spouses, you can access a low-cost mortgage and pursue your dream of homeownership.
What is a VA Loan?
A VA loan is a government loan backed by the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) and issued by a lender or bank. Due to their lenient credit requirements, VA loans in Michigan are considered ‘non-conforming’ and offer several benefits to active-duty military members, veterans, and surviving spouses.
