The VA loan guaranty primarily provides lenders protection against which risk?

The VA loan guaranty is designed to reduce the lender’s risk when a borrower defaults. If a veteran borrower stops paying and the loan goes into foreclosure, the VA pays a portion of the unpaid balance to the lender, offsetting the loss from default. This protection targets default risk specifically, not declines in property values (market depreciation), fraud, or prepayment penalties, which are not covered by the guaranty.
