A VA home loan is a government-backed mortgage designed for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses. It offers key benefits like zero down payment, no private mortgage insurance, and competitive interest rates. This program helps make homeownership more affordable and accessible for those who have served.
VA loans are available to veterans, current service members, certain National Guard and Reserve members, and qualifying surviving spouses. Eligibility depends on your service history and is confirmed through a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). We can help you determine if you qualify and assist in getting your COE.
Yes. One of the most valuable features of a VA loan is the ability to purchase a home with no down payment. This means eligible buyers can finance 100% of the home’s value, helping you get into a home sooner without needing to save a large upfront amount.
No. VA loans do not require monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI), even when financing the full purchase price. Instead, a one-time funding fee helps support the program. This fee can often be rolled into your loan, and some veterans may be exempt from paying it entirely.
