What is a VA Loan?
A VA Loan is issued by the Veterans Affairs administration to a veteran, service-member, or the family or spouse of either party. They typically require no downpayment aside from a VA loan funding fee, which is a small percentage of the total loan.
Is this loan right for me?
Well, if you’re a veteran, service-member, or a spouse of a veteran or service-member — yes. If not, then no. VA Loans are uniquely favorable to the borrower because the borrower, or their spouse, has enlisted to protect America. VA Loans are reserved for those who have made that commitment.
How can LitFinancial help?
VA Loans might not be as tricky when it comes to wrangling down payments and private lending. But the difference is in the details. LitFinancial’s expert brokers can help negotiate funding fees, interest rates and more to get you the most favorable terms.

People like LitFinancial
When you love what you do, it shows.
Working with Lit Financial was great! The communication from the Loan Officer, Jay Saad was also great! Jay was always available when myself (buyers agent) or the buyer needed help or questions answered. Jay made himself fully available during the entire escrow. Some nights the calls were past 9pm, but Jay would always answer or send an immediate text letting me know he'd be calling right back. Jay was diligent with his work and always professional when it came to explaining things to myself and my first-time buyer. I would highly recommend working with Jay Saad. Read more →
I wanted to express my gratitude for the exceptional experience I have had working with Lit Financial as a whole and wanted to particularly shout out Sue Beidoun!

I would love to emphasize Sue's proactive approach and enthusiasm not only making the process more enjoyable but also significantly contribute to our mutual success.… Read more →
We were moving 1800 miles across country and worked with Chad Pounders at Lit Financial to broker our mortgage. As difficult as remote home buying can be, the financing was the least stressful by a wide margin and I credit that to Chad and his team at Lit. Communication was always quick and Chad showed a ton of patience as we worked through inventory with our realtor. Chad is knowledgeable and was open and honest about our options as we moved through the process. I highly recommend reaching out to Chad and his team at Lit if you are in… Read more →
We did a refinance on our home, and James Abdallah was very professional, assisting us every step of the way with any information we needed and answering any questions that we had. The entire process was very fast and we felt very comfortable with how knowledgeable he was. He was easy to contact and available at all times for us. We ended up getting the deal that we wanted with a quick turnaround time. A special thanks to Lex and Sue as well for their help as part of the team! I highly recommend working with the Lit Financial team… Read more →
