Gateway Mortgage, a division of Gateway First Bank, has long been a leading provider of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) Home Loans to America’s Active-Duty military personnel, honorably discharged Veterans, surviving spouses, Reservists, and National Guard. As a part of the company's commitment to our armed forces, Gateway is launching a new Military Mortgage Advisor certification on National Flag Day.

“Because VA Home Loans are unique compared to other types of mortgage products, Gateway wants to ensure our loan origination team is extremely well versed so that the home loan process is easy and as stress-free as possible,” said Mark Revard, Divisional Executive Vice President and National Production Manager for Gateway. "Often, the home purchase process begins while military members are deployed overseas and preparing to return to the United States."

VA Loans provide tremendous advantages that enable homeownership for the men and women who have served our country in the U.S. military. Since the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs partially insures these loans, unique benefits include up to 100% financing with no down payment, easier qualification requirements, reduced interest rates, lower closing costs, and no required Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).

“Gateway proudly offers this program to those who have answered the call to defend the freedoms all American families enjoy daily,” said Jack Little, Area Manager in Bluffton, SC. “Gateway’s commitment to our service men and women can be seen by the service and products we offer and in how we partner with Folds of Honor. A portion of every closed home loan is donated to help with educational scholarships for the families of fallen and injured service men and women.” To date, Gateway has donated over $700,000 to Folds of Honor. Little headed the committee that designed the Military Mortgage Certification program.
