Support for Veterans with Service-Related Disabilities:
VA loans provide additional support for veterans with service-related disabilities, offering specific programs and adaptations to make homes more accessible.
Community Development Focus:

VA loans can be used to finance various property types, including single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-unit properties, providing flexibility for veterans and their families.
The VA benefit for buying a home is a lifelong benefit
However, there are some important points to remember:
✅If you use your VA eligibility to buy a home and then you do not sell that home, your eligibility will still be tied up in that house.
✅You may still have “partial eligibility” to buy another home, but not the full eligibility. However, once you sell the home your eligibility is restored and can be used again.
At PRMI, we are dedicated to supporting our Veterans through lending services. Whether you’re buying or refinancing your home, we’re here to assist you every step of the way.
