FHA vs VA, which is better?
If you are VA-eligible, I compare VA before settling on FHA. VA has no monthly mortgage insurance, but a funding fee may apply unless you are exempt.
What this actually means.
I compare the full payment, upfront costs and how long you expect to keep the mortgage. Eligible service does not make every VA loan the cheapest choice, and VA eligibility, entitlement and any funding-fee exemption still have to be confirmed.
Where this can move.
Credit score, down payment, LTV, expected hold period, mortgage-insurance economics, and property type can change which loan wins for your file.
