Question 1

Can I use both FHA and VA loans?

Accepted Answer

No — not for the same home. You pick one. VA-eligible borrowers can use FHA, but there's rarely a reason to.

Question 2

Does VA or FHA have better rates in Hesperia?

Accepted Answer

VA rates are typically lower. No mortgage insurance also means a lower total monthly payment. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 3

What credit score do I need for each loan?

Accepted Answer

FHA requires 580 for 3.5% down. Most VA lenders want 620, though VA sets no official minimum.

Question 4

Is the VA funding fee a dealbreaker?

Accepted Answer

Rarely. It can be rolled into the loan. And skipping monthly mortgage insurance saves more money long-term.

Question 5

Do both loans work for Hesperia's price range?

Accepted Answer

Yes. San Bernardino County FHA limits cover most Hesperia purchases. VA has no set loan limit for eligible borrowers with full entitlement.

Question 6

Which loan closes faster in Hesperia?

Accepted Answer

FHA and VA timelines are similar. VA appraisals can take longer. SRK CAPITAL works with lenders who prioritize speed on both.
