Yes. The VA home loan is a lien against the property. In certain states the document used for this is a mortgage. In other states, this is called a Deed of Trust. Regardless of type of state, the term mortgage can be used for both. The mortgage is the evidence of the existence of the loan.
Is a VA mortgage loan also for use in a Deed of Trust State?
