VA Loan Benefits
Florida Veterans and Active Duty service members can utilize the benefits afforded to them by the VA Home Loan Program to buy or refinance a personal home. A VA Mortgage provides them the opportunity for a no down payment home purchase, along with less stringent qualification requirements.
In addition to 100% financing of a home purchase, VA Home Loans do not have private mortgage insurance (PMI). Most VA loans are 30 year fixed rate loans at interest rates comparable to conventional 20% down loan programs. The Veteran home buyer’s closing costs can be paid by the seller, and VA Loans have lower minimum credit score requirements. Click Here to Learn More
VA Loan Eligibility
VA Home Loan eligibility is dependent on when and how long you served in the Military, National Guard or Reserves. Most Veterans and Active Duty service members will be eligible if they have served for 181 consecutive days during peacetime or 91 consecutive days during wartime. Click Here for Details About VA Loan Eligibility
Being eligible for a VA Mortgage loan is only part the requirements needed to obtain a Veterans Affairs mortgage. In addition to being eligible, a Veteran or Active Duty service member must meet the income and credit requirements to qualify for a VA Loan. These requirements are less stringent than conventional loans: Click Here to Learn More
VA Loan Refinancing
Veterans and Active Duty service members in Florida who own their home may be eligible to refinance their mortgage using their VA Loan benefits. A VA Loan refinance can lower your rate and payment, and/or provide “cash out” for home improvement projects, debt reduction, or any other purpose.
There are a few different types of VA Refinance loans. For those that currently have a VA Home Loan, usually, a VA Streamline Refinance loan is the best option. For those who have a conventional, FHA or another loan program a traditional VA refinance or VA Cash Out loan may be right for you. Click Here for More Information About Refinancing
Disabled Veteran Benefits
Florida Veterans who have a disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs are entitled to additional benefits in relation to their VA Loan and Florida property taxes. These benefits are available to eligible Veterans and unmarried surviving spouses of an eligible Veteran who died in service or as a result of service-related injuries.
Veterans with a 10% or greater disability rating are exempt from the VA funding fee. Veterans living in Florida who have a 100% disability rating may be eligible for a complete exemption from taxes on their personal home. Other benefits apply for those with less than 100% disability.

VA Loan Rates
Veteran Home Loan interest rates change with the fluctuations in the financial markets. With VA Loan rates still near historical lows, Veterans can use this opportunity along with the other advantages of a VA Home Loan to purchase and home and utilize the benefits they have earned.
Several factors determine what your rate will be for a VA Mortgage loan. In order to accurately quote you a rate, we must first help you get pre-qualified. Also, because VA interest rates fluctuate with conditions in the financial markets until your loan rate has been locked in it may change and move higher or lower. Click Here to Get Started

Just FYI I am a realtor in the Greater Houston area, and I must say that Shirley has done a fantastic job with all of my clients. Communication is key with lenders and Shirley’s is top notch. She does loans in multiple states and markets! Her passion is helping our veterans achieve home ownership, and she has been a blessing to me and my clients.

Ms Shirley and her team were among the top teir customer service representatives I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I'll admit, I was apprehensive at first, given the number of people that had their hands in everything. Tends to lead to confusion and things getting messed up, which takes time to fix. I brought an issue to Ms Shirley and without hesitation, calls the team members involved and conferences the issue. Absolutely stunned when that happened. This goes to show you the dedication of this team and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone! Thank you and I can't say it enough. Still hope for humanity yet.

I am so pleased with the team lead by Shirley Muller at Guaranteed Rate. I was able to get the home of my dreams thanks to the magnificent Job of all the members of Ms. Muller's team. Everything was handled with the upmost professionalism and spectacular costumer service. I closed on time and on the date that it was scheduled for with no changes. The team guided me all the way and from all the closings of my other 4 homes this was the easiest one, not as stressful as other times when purchasing a home. I would definitely recommend Shirley Muller to anyone looking to purchase a new home specially military veterans, " they will take care of you all the way" . Thank you so mcuh Shirley Muller and entire team for all your help and hard work.

Shirley Mueller and her team, especially Ashley Lundgren, were very resourceful to me throughout the entire process - from prequalification through to closing. But for their determination, persistence, and resolve, I would not have been successful with the homebuying process. Shirley was especially professional yet, very personable and relatable. I would recommend Shirley and her team from Guaranteed Rate any day.

Working with the VALoansTx team to purchase our home in Texas was an amazing experience. Shirley, Angie, Ashley, and their team were in constant communication with us, making sure that we knew what to expect with every step of the complicated process. In today’s crazy housing market, it was comforting to know that we had an entire team that was only a phone call away. They were quick to answer calls, emails and always very friendly and personable. We could not have achieved this dream without VALoansTx on our team. We will highly recommend to everyone we know buying a home with a VA loan.

Shirley Mueller Ashley Lundgren and the entire Team at Guaranteed Rate was amazing throughout the entire loan process. As a Army veteran and first time homebuyer relocating from New York to Texas their online loan process was absolutely unbelievable❤️🙌 they were very responsive with any questions I had very easy to reach on the phone and worked very hard and quickly to resolve any issues that arose during the process. My loan was able to close in 29 Days from the moment a signed contract was received by the lender I would highly recommend any Veteran or Civilian needing home financing to contact Shirley Mueller at Guaranteed Rate wish I could give 100 stars.

Shirley Mueller, and her entire team, were phenomenal to work with. All home loan details and notices were communicated to me with enough lead time to act on the documents. The very best home loan team is at Guaranteed Rate without doubt!

Excellent customer service by Shirley and her team. They promptly returned our calls/emails. Shirley once returned my call from home on her day off. That’s the type of emphasis she places on customer service/satisfaction. She and her team made refinancing process a breeze for us. This is our second closing in three months span. Will definitely be using their services again in the future. Highly recommends her business to all service members and vets.
