Maureen Martin, NMLS #247664, a San Diego mortgage broker at HomePlus Mortgage, helps veterans, active-duty service members and eligible surviving spouses across San Diego County compare VA home loans, VA refinances and VA IRRRLs.
VA Purchases, VA Refinances and VA IRRRLs
A San Diego VA loan may allow eligible borrowers with full entitlement to purchase with no down payment and no monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI). Requirements apply: borrowers must establish eligibility and meet credit, income and property standards, and closing costs and a VA funding fee typically apply unless the borrower is exempt.
VA refinance options include:
VA IRRRL: a VA-to-VA refinance that does not take cash out. It may help lower an interest rate or convert an adjustable rate to a fixed rate. IRRRLs must meet VA seasoning, recoupment and net tangible benefit requirements.
VA cash-out refinance: a refinance that may let eligible homeowners access equity for home improvements or debt consolidation, subject to VA and lender requirements.
"San Diego has a large military community, and many VA borrowers don't know every option their benefit offers," said Maureen Martin. "My job is to explain the choices in plain language, compare programs, and help each borrower decide what makes sense for them."
Full Range of San Diego Mortgage Services
Beyond VA financing, Maureen Martin offers:
Home purchase loans for first-time and move-up buyers
Conventional and FHA loans
Rate-and-term and cash-out refinancing
Debt consolidation loans also known as HELOCs or second mortgages for homeowners who may want to access available equity while keeping an existing low-rate first mortgage in place.
Reverse mortgages, including HECMs for eligible homeowners age 62 and older, as well as proprietary reverse mortgage options that may be available to eligible borrowers as young as age 55. For HECMs, no monthly principal and interest payment is generally required, but borrowers must continue to pay property taxes and homeowners insurance, maintain the home and meet other loan obligations. The home must be the primary residence, HUD-approved counseling is required, and the loan balance generally grows over time. Proprietary reverse mortgage program requirements vary by lender and product.
