VA has easier qualifying guidelines for borrowers. They also have a funding fee that can be good/bad. You wont have to pay a monthly PMI, and you can come with zero down. Rates are great, and have nothing to do with your credit score Conventional - harder guidelines, and you may have to pay a high monthly PMI payment. You maybe required to put 5% down or 10% down in a declining market. Your credit score/down payment will determine your rate. FHA has same guidelines as VA, but only has a 1.5% funding fee. You will be paying a 0.5% monthly mortgage insurance premium for at least 5yrs. Rates are usually better than a VA loan.
