No closing cost mortgage loans are usually associated with refinancing mortgage loans. The No Closing Costs Loan program is ideal for homeowners who want to lower their monthly payments without paying any closing costs.
An FHA Loan (Federal Housing Administration) has some advantages over conventional loans.

A VA (Veterans Affairs) loan carries many of the same advantages as an FHA home loan. However, to qualify for this loan, you must be a qualifying veteran, the unmarried widow of a veteran, a Public Health Service Officer, or an active-duty service man. The maximum loan amount for a VA-guaranteed loan is $625,250 depending on the area you live in.
