The VA Toolkit is an interactive education piece designed for REALTOR® members with little previous experience in using products offered by VA, or members who have not worked with veterans as clients in recent years. The toolkit provides an overview of VA's Home Loan Guaranty Program, detailed information on VA products, and resources to address common misconceptions about the VA Loan Guaranty.

Using the toolkit, REALTORS® will understand how the VA's Home Loan Guaranty Services programs help families become homeowners by lowering some of the costs of their mortgage loans.
