Additional Mortgage Options

At Jovia, we know every homeowner's journey is different. That's why we offer specialized mortgage options designed to meet your unique needs.

VA Mortgage

Affordable Financing for Veterans

As a veteran, active-duty service member, or eligible surviving spouse, you’ve earned valuable benefits that can help you achieve homeownership.

With a VA loan**, you can access home financing with fewer barriers and greater flexibility. VA loans offer significant advantages, including no mortgage insurance, which means lower monthly payments. You can also finance up to 100% of your home’s value, meaning no down payment may be required. Additionally, there are limits on closing costs, ensuring that you won’t be burdened with unnecessary fees.

VA Mortgage

Reverse Mortgage

Unlock the Value of Your Home

If you’re 62 or older and have built up significant equity in your home, a reverse mortgage could be the key to greater financial freedom.

With a reverse mortgage, you can access your home’s equity without having to sell or move. Best of all, no monthly mortgage payments are required, helping you boost your monthly cash flow. Many seniors qualify with just their Social Security income, making it an easy and flexible option. Plus, the interest on the loan is deferred, so you don't pay it until you sell the home, move out, or the home is no longer your primary residence.

A reverse mortgage can give you the peace of mind and financial breathing room you deserve.
