Additional New Hampshire Home Loan & Debt Relief Options for Veterans

  1. VA-Guaranteed Home Loan – this is a great option for veterans; A. you can get approved with an average credit score, lower than the requirements for civilians B. no down payment is required C. you’ll get a low-interest rate on the loan.  These loans originate through the bank just like any other loan, but the difference is that they’re backed by the VA, so because the VA backs these loans they’re easier for military veterans to qualify for. If you stopped paying on your VA-guaranteed home loan, the VA could pay up to 25% of your remaining balance. VA loans come with restrictions that protect veterans from paying high-interest rates and fees.
  2. VA Loan Compromise through the Department of Veteran Affairs – this is similar to a debt settlement program but doesn’t require a third-party debt settlement company
  3. Student Loan Discharge for Disabled Veterans – if you’re disabled and the diagnosis is not expected to improve, your student loans can be permanently discharged. To apply – contact the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and provide them proof of your condition. They will then evaluate it and your federal student loans should then be permanently discharged.
  4. Military College Loan Repayment – “the Army provides up to $65,000 in loan repayments on qualified federal loans for qualified enlistees or those who re-enlist. The Navy also offers up to $65,000 in repayment for three years of service. The Air Force has a similar program, paying up to $10,000.
  5. National Defense Student Loan Discharge – offers a partial discharge of federal loans for those whose military service included at least one year in the hostile fire or imminent danger areas.”
