Are VA loans popular with Tampa homebuyers?

Short answerYes. With MacDill Air Force Base nearby, Tampa has a large population of eligible veterans and active-duty service members who use VA loans for zero-down-payment purchases with no monthly mortgage insurance. VA loans also allow assumable mortgages and the IRRRL streamline refinance. You will need a Certificate of Eligibility and must meet the lender's credit and income guidelines.

The details

The VA funding fee can be financed into the loan amount, and it is waived entirely for veterans with service-connected disability ratings.

Tampa sellers are familiar with VA offers, but a strong pre-approval letter still matters in competitive bidding.
