What is a VA loan?
VA loans were created for veteran and active duty servicemembers, Reserve and National Guard members and surviving military spouses. While Citi offers these loans, they're guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. This means VA loans often carry more flexible terms, including lower interest rates.
