For educational purposes only. Figures are estimates based on the loan amount, note rate, and term you enter; they are not a loan offer, commitment to lend, or a guarantee of any rate or payment. Actual rates, payments, taxes, insurance, and qualification depend on credit profile, property, and lender approval. VA eligibility requires a valid Certificate of Eligibility. The VA funding fee varies with service history, prior VA use, and down payment — the percentage above is an editable estimate; your exact fee comes from the VA. MyHome accrues 1% simple interest, is deferred with no monthly payment, and becomes due when you sell, transfer, refinance, or pay off the first mortgage.
