Encore Series – VAGap
The VA GAP Solution offers veteran buyers an efficient way to secure below‑market VA rates while minimizing upfront cash requirements.
HOW IT WORKS
Assume the Seller’s VA First Mortgage
- Buyer takes over the seller’s VA loan at its original interest rate and terms
- Seller’s loan servicer processes the assumption
- Servicer manually qualifies the buyer for income, credit, and VA guidelines
Entitlement Options:
- Substitute buyer’s VA entitlement
- OR keep seller’s entitlement tied to the loan with written approval
Finance the GAP
When the seller’s loan balance is lower than the purchase price, a “gap” is created.
VA GAP financing covers this difference at closing.
Features:
- Interest‑only options
- No prepayment penalties
- Flexible repayment at the buyer’s pace
- Eliminates the need for large cash‑to‑close
Key Advantages for Veteran Buyers
- Exceptionally low rates through VA assumption
- Reduced cash‑to‑close by financing the gap
- Flexible payment structure, including interest‑only
- Preserves liquidity for improvements or savings
- Entitlement flexibility for long‑term planning
