Mortgage Glossary - Mortgage and Real Estate Terms Sorted Alphabetically:

V – VA (Department of Veterans Affairs) Mortgage, vacancy rate, VA funding fee…more

VA (DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS) MORTGAGE - government insured loans guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, requiring very low or no down payments and with generous requirements for qualification. They are available only to veterans of the armed services, those currently on active duty or in the reserves, and their spouses.

VACANCY RATE - the ratio between the number of vacant units and the total number of units in a multi-tenant building or development. Often the vacancy rate can affect whether the property is considered “warrantable” or not. AAXA works with a number of investors that offer low mortgage rate solutions for both warrantable and non-warrantable properties.

VA FUNDING FEE - a fee the VA charges to guarantee a residential real estate mortgage loan

VA LOAN - mortgage loan made by an approved lender and guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. VA loans are made to eligible veterans and those currently serving in the military and may have a lower down payment than other type loans. However, today, there are many 97%-100% mortgage loan financing alternatives without having to go through VA or FHA sources.

VALUATION - the estimation of a property's price through appraisal.

VERIFICATION OF DEPOSIT (VOD) - a form that requests and secures verifications of amount on deposit at financial institutions.
