Our rates are in the 7% range for 20% down though.

If you have no lates in the last 12 months and re-established credit meaning you have atleast 3 tradelines you have made ontime payments on for the last 12-24 months you may be eligible for VA financing with 580 min or lower scores depending on the scenario.Most of the time these type of files with be a total cluster and require 30-40 conditions ranging from letters of explanation, additional documentation, and or other to close.

This is about to bite us though as commercial loans only lock for 5 years - so our 4% commercial loan will reset in the next year and probably increase to the 6% range if we don’t pay it off before then.
