Does a VA Home Loan have mortgage insurance?
Neils Jorgensen
Department Representative
No, a VA Home Loan does not have mortgage insurance (also referred to as "M.I."). VA Loans are actually guaranteed by the VA, not insured. This means that you have neither up front nor monthly mortgage insurance premiums.
