Pros and Cons of VHDA Home Loans
- As with other types of mortgages, you can get pre-approved for a VHDA loan from your local VHDA lender.
- You can also refinance a current mortgage through one of VHDA’s conventional loan programs.
- VHDA’s minimum credit score is 620, which may be higher than you’d need to have for certain government-insured programs from another lender.
- VHDA Income and Loan Limits vary by metro area. In the Shenandoah Valley, the maximum gross household income for 2 or fewer people is $76,700 (or $61,300 with the VHDA Down Payment Grant). For 3 or more people, the income limit is $88,200 ($70,500 with down payment assistance). The overall sales price/loan limit is $251,900.
- You must complete VHDA’s Homebuyer Education Class before loan approval.
