VA-guaranteed loans offer veterans unique foreclosure protections and assistance programs not available to conventional borrowers. The Department of Veterans Affairs has a VA Loan Technician assigned to every defaulted VA loan — a government employee whose job is to help you avoid foreclosure. Additionally, the VA offers refunding (buying down the loan), compromise sales, and direct intervention with servicers. At Dream Financial Management, we help veterans navigate VA foreclosure assistance nationwide since 1994.
Every VA regional loan center has VA Loan Technicians whose job is to help veterans avoid foreclosure. They can intervene directly with your servicer, facilitate loss mitigation, approve repayment plans, and authorize refunding. Call 1-877-827-3702 to reach the VA. This is a free government service — use it. We can coordinate with your VA technician for maximum leverage.
The VA can purchase your loan from the servicer — effectively buying it back — and then work out modified terms directly with you. This is the most powerful VA tool. The VA becomes your lender and can offer terms the private servicer wouldn't. Refunding is discretionary but the VA is strongly incentivized to avoid veteran foreclosures.
VA's short sale program. The VA may pay a portion of the deficiency to the lender to facilitate the sale. No relocation assistance. The VA may waive the deficiency entirely. The VA funding fee portion of the debt is typically waived. Owner-occupied by veteran required.
The VA Loan Technician can work with your servicer to arrange repayment plans, special forbearance, and loan modifications. Because the VA guarantees 25-50% of the loan, servicers are incentivized to cooperate with VA proposals.
VA loans have the strongest borrower protections in the mortgage industry. Dream Financial Management helps veterans access VA loan technicians, refunding, compromise sales, and all available assistance. Free consultation. Since 1994.
