Supported by the Virginia Housing Development Authority, VHDA loans are geared towards first time homebuyers. VHDA is the state’s mortgage finance agency which helps low to moderate income Virginians achieve the goal of home ownership which would otherwise be impossible. By offering a variety of loan options, the VHDA aids many Virginians in overcoming barriers that hinder home ownership. VHDA programs can help a homebuyer in several ways from eliminating the down payment or mortgage insurance to providing more flexible underwriting for the loan to additional assistance in payments. Although VHDA has presence across Virginia, it also has mobile mortgage offices for areas which are not generally serviced by traditional lenders. In addition to financial assistance, VHDA also provides homeownership education classes to educate Virginians on the home buying process. VHDA prides itself in knowing its customers thereby being able to offer a wide array of products and services that can meet their needs.
