  A salute to veterans  
  With home prices as high as they are, saving up for a down payment can seem like an insurmountable task.

If you are an active-duty service member, veteran, or reservist, you could be eligible for a more affordable financing option: a VA loan.

These loans are backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and often have lower interest rates and closing costs. Importantly, they also have no down payment, or private mortgage insurance requirements.

What to know
Prospective borrowers need to request a Certificate of Eligibility through the VA to demonstrate they qualify for one of these government-backed loans.

They can only be used on a property that will serve as your primary residence, including a single-family home with up to four units, a condo in a VA-approved project, or a manufactured home.

While a VA loan offers competitive terms, you should still assess your financial health before making a purchase, and learn more about what kind of a home you can comfortably afford.

  "Setting a financial goal is all about having your money serve you. When a budget is too harsh and punitive, you might wind up making impulse buys or otherwise overspending. If you know you have some cash stashed for mood-lifting purposes, you can stay on track."
