VA Home Loans

VA-Backed Home Loans: No Down Payment, No Mortgage Insurance, Flexible Credit

VA loans

A type of mortgage that is available to veterans, active-duty military members, and eligible surviving spouses. These loans are guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Which means lenders are protected in case the borrower defaults on the loan. VA loans typically offer more favorable terms and interest rates than conventional loans and do not require a down payment.

In addition, VA loans do not require mortgage insurance, which can save borrowers money on their monthly payments. VA loans have flexible credit requirements, which can help borrowers with less-than-perfect credit still qualify for a mortgage. Overall, VA loans provide a valuable benefit to those who have served our country and can make it easier for them to achieve the dream of homeownership.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for a VA home loan?

VA loans are available to eligible veterans, active duty service members, and some surviving spouses who meet service requirements and have a valid Certificate of Eligibility. I can help you pull your COE if you do not already have one.

Do VA loans require a down payment?

In most cases, no. VA loans are one of the few programs that allow eligible borrowers to finance 100% of the purchase price with no down payment required.

What is the VA funding fee?

The VA funding fee is a one time fee that helps keep the VA loan program running for future veterans, and it can typically be rolled into the loan amount. The exact percentage depends on your down payment and whether it is your first time using the benefit.

Can I use my VA loan benefit more than once?

Yes, VA loan benefits can be reused, and many veterans restore their entitlement after paying off or selling a previous VA financed home.
