    VA loans have a unique combination of features not found with other loan programs. Because a portion of each loan is guaranteed by the VA for the lenders, they can offer more favorable terms. Whether you’re buying your first home, needing more space for your growing family, or downsizing as an empty nester, the VA homebuying benefit can be used over and over. It’s possible to restore entitlement from a prior loan and use it again, making VA loans a benefit for life. So, what is this fee for military veterans? Listen to this episode as we give you some calculation to understand why there's a fee for VA.
