Purchase Solutions Right For You!


Whether you’re buying your first home or you’re an experienced buyer, we have a home lending solution just for you.

A VA loan is Perhaps the Most Powerful and Flexible Lending Option on the Market Today


Rather than issue loans, the VA instead pledges to repay about a quarter of every loan it guarantees in the unlikely event the borrower defaults. That guarantee gives VA-approved lenders, like us, greater protection when lending to military borrowers which allows us to offer the lowest rates available to qualified veterans.

VA Loans: Your Hard-Earned Homeownership Benefit


Served your country but struggling to find your way to homeownership? While non-military homebuyers scramble to make big down payments and meet rigid credit requirements, you’ve earned access to one of the best mortgage benefits around, and most veterans don’t know the full extent of benefit they receive.

VA home loans reward your service with zero down, no mortgage insurance, and low interest rates that make homeownership easy and affordable.

We had unexpectedly found our dream home and needed to get pre approved on what seemed like an impossibly short timeline to make an offer, but Dan came through for us and with a rate that beat all others. If you want a business that you can call that picks up the phone and it's exactly who you need to talk to, you've found the right place.

Dan, Heidi, and the Educated Mortgage team made the refinancing process a breeze and easy to understand. They answered every question we had. We definitely plan on working with them again.

Dan and his team helped me with a refi and it took forever (on my part not theirs :D) but his team and him answered all my questions and gave me what I needed to work on things and we got it done! Will definitely be going back to them when I need another refi.

Such a great experience! Dan & Heidi are relentless - so professional, such good communication and follow up, made everything super easy. The tools they use are also great. I shopped brokers and had a few I was dealing with and asking questions to, but in the end I'm so glad we chose Educated Mortgage for our recent condo purchase.

I can not say enough good things about Educated Mortgage. We had the pleasure of working with Dan and Heidi. From the beginning conversations with Dan to the loan application to the processes with Heidi all the way up through the closing, the experience was beyond exceptional. Communication with us very efficient and they worked very hard for us. Our situation was extraordinary and definitely presented challenges but they never gave up on us. We actually spoke with Dan several months prior to this and he gave us advise on things we needed to work on, which we did and when we called him back he was ready to go to work for us. Even after the closing, he will watch our loan and mortgage rates and let us know if and when the time could be right to refi. They are there for you from the beginning and we will still be there months or years down the road to help. Even if it is just to ask some questions. Educated Mortgage is just amazing.

Who Can Get a VA Loan?


This hard-earned and well-deserved benefit is available to those that have served or currently serve our country so proudly. The VA will issue a qualifying veteran or military member a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). Veterans and military members are able to request this through the VA or we will be happy to request and obtain on their behalf. There are no income limits on the VA loan and it will provide financing on 1-4 unit residential properties to be used as primary residences. To qualify for a VA loan, you’ll need a valid COE, minimum 580 credit score, and maximum debt to income ratio of 45% (exceptions made up to 55% with compensating factors). The loan terms of the VA loans are typically the best we have to offer any veteran or military member client. We strongly encourage anyone eligible for the VA loan to explore it as an option before settling on a different mortgage loan as it’s usually their best option.

Benefits of VA Loans


  • Buy a home with 0% down
  • Cash out refinance to 100% of the current value of your home to consolidate debt, do home improvements, pay for college, or any other reason
  • IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan) is fast and easy way to reduce your interest rate/payment with no appraisal and little or no closing costs
  • No monthly mortgage insurance payment regardless of down payment or equity
  • Additional benefits to lower mortgage cost for veterans that receive a disability benefit
  • Clients with a previous bankruptcy can qualify 2 years after discharge
  • Clients with a previous foreclosure can qualify 2 years after sheriff’s deed transfer
