No-Down-Payment Option for Servicemembers

As a way of giving back to servicemembers, veterans and reservists for serving our country, Navy Federal provides military home loans that offer exclusive benefits. If you’ve already exhausted your VA Loan benefit, a Navy Federal Military Choice Loan1 is a good option for you.

Loan Features

  • Fixed Rates & Consistent Payments

    With a fixed interest rate, your monthly payment to principal and interest will remain the same for the life of your loan.

  • Options With No Down Payment

    Some lenders require a down payment of up to 20% but because these loans don’t require money down, you can buy a house now without waiting years to save.2

  • No Private Mortgage Insurance Required

    Most lenders require the borrower to purchase PMI unless they are able to make a down payment of 20%. This loan doesn’t require PMI, which saves you money each month.

  • Seller Contribution of Up to 6%

    The seller is allowed to contribute up to 6% of the value of the home toward your closing costs, saving you money.

Discount Points: The interest rate above shows the option of purchasing discount points to lower a loan’s interest rate and monthly payment. One point amounts to 1% of the loan amount and is paid at closing. Points don’t always have to be round numbers. Purchasing 1.5 points would cost $3,000 on a $200,000 mortgage.

Rates displayed are the "as low as" rates for purchase loans and refinances of existing Navy Federal loans. Rates for refinance loans where the existing lender is not Navy Federal are subject to a 0.750% higher rate.

Jumbo Loans: Loans over a certain amount are called jumbo loans. In most states, mortgage loans greater than $548,250 are jumbo loans. In AK and HI, any loan over $822,375 is considered a jumbo loan.
