The world has become a place where everything is handled electronically. This is true even in the home loan world.
It isn’t always convenient to visit a lender in person and sign paperwork. This is especially true with VA home loans since some Veterans are disabled and/or travel isn’t easy for them.
When it’s inconvenient to sign in person, signing documents electronically may be a good option.
Signing Documents Electronically for a VA Home Loan
The Department of Veterans Affairs has made it possible for VA home loans to be signed electronically. This was implemented by the VA with Circular 26-13-13 back in 2013.
You should note that lenders are not required to accept e-signature, but are able to if the lender has the capabilities to receive them.
Signing documents electronically is an excellent option for those who can’t make it to a lender’s office or would prefer to complete the VA home loan process online.
Why Should I Apply for a VA Loan Instead of a Traditional Loan?
A VA home loan can provide more benefits for Veterans than traditional home loans. Some of the benefits will include:
▪ No Down Payment Is Required – as long as the sales price isn’t higher than the home’s appraised value
▪ Better Terms and Interest Rates than Traditional Loans – from private banks or credit unions
▪ No Need for Private Mortgage Insurance
▪ Fewer Closing Costs
▪ No Penalty Fee – for early loan payoff
▪ The Government Guarantees VA Loans
▪ The Loan Is Reusable – Veterans can use a VA loan benefit multiple times, so long as they qualify.
▪ VA Home Loans Are Easier to Qualify for – terms for VA home loans are easier to meet than traditional home loans.
▪ Funding Fee Flexibility – you can finance the funding fee required as part of the loan.
▪ Refinance Options – the VA loan program allows people with existing VA loans or traditional loans the opportunity to lower their monthly payment by refinancing.
