Once approved, the VLB can lend the veteran the amount of the home's purchase price up to $417,000 with a fixed interest rate for 15-20-25- or 30-year terms. The VHAP must be originated in conjunction with Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Veterans Administration (VA), or conventional financing.

The VHAP is not a refinancing program. If you have an existing loan on your home, the VHAP cannot be used to lower your interest rate, nor can the VHAP be used as a down payment on a home. It can only be used to obtain a purchase money loan with a first lien on your primary residence.

The interest rate will be determined at the time the lender secures a rate lock. If more than one rate lock is obtained in a 12-month period, the highest locked rate will prevail.

The down payment, if any, will be determined by the lender along with all fees permitted for the processing and closing of mortgage loans. View Fees
