Answer a few questions—no impact to your credit score.

Why VA Loans

Use the Benefits You’ve Earned Through Service

VA loans are backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and built to make homeownership more accessible for those who have served.

No Down Payment Required

Buy a home with 0% down in most cases, so you can keep cash on hand for moving, savings, and family priorities.

No Monthly PMI

Unlike many conventional loans, VA loans don’t require private mortgage insurance, helping you lower your monthly payment.

Flexible Credit & Lower Rates

VA loans often feature more forgiving credit requirements and rates that beat many conventional options, even with past credit challenges.

Eligibility At A Glance

Who Qualifies for a VA Home Loan?

If you’ve served, there’s a strong chance you’re eligible. We’ll help you confirm your COE (Certificate of Eligibility) and walk you through anything that’s unclear.

  • Veterans with qualifying active-duty service
  • Active-duty service members meeting minimum service requirements
  • Certain National Guard and Reserve members
  • Surviving spouses who meet VA guidelines

Not sure if you qualify? Our VA loan team can review your service history and provide clear next steps in a single conversation.

Key VA Loan Guidelines

  • Owner-occupied primary residence
  • Sufficient income & residual income
  • Acceptable credit profile (we review the full picture)
  • Valid Certificate of Eligibility (COE)

Already used a VA loan? You may still have remaining entitlement or be eligible again after selling or refinancing your previous home.

VA vs. Conventional

See How VA Loans Stack Up

For many qualified borrowers, VA financing can mean lower cash to close and a more affordable monthly payment than a comparable conventional loan.

VA Loan

Best for: Eligible veterans, active-duty, Guard/Reserve, and qualifying spouses seeking low cash-to-close and strong monthly affordability.

  • 0% down payment in most markets
  • No monthly private mortgage insurance
  • Competitive interest rates
  • More flexible credit and debt-to-income allowances
  • Assumable loan in many cases

Conventional Loan

Best for: Borrowers without VA eligibility or those prioritizing specific property types or jumbo scenarios.

  • Typically 3–20% down payment required
  • Private mortgage insurance if under 20% down
  • Stricter credit and debt-to-income requirements
  • Broad property type flexibility
  • Not limited to primary residences in all cases

VA Loan FAQs

Answers to Common VA Loan Questions

Still unsure if a VA loan is right for you? These quick answers can help. Our team is always available for more detailed scenarios.

Do I have to be a first-time homebuyer to use a VA loan?

No. You do not need to be a first-time buyer to use your VA home loan benefit. You can use your VA entitlement multiple times over your life, as long as you meet VA guidelines and have sufficient entitlement available.

Can I use a VA loan to refinance an existing mortgage?

Yes. VA loans offer both rate-and-term refinances and streamlined Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans (IRRRLs), which can help lower your rate and payment with limited documentation in many cases.

Are VA appraisals harder to pass than conventional?

VA appraisals focus on ensuring the property is safe, sound, and sanitary for veterans. While standards are specific, most well-maintained homes pass without issue. We work closely with your agent and the appraiser to address any items that arise.

What if I’ve had a bankruptcy or foreclosure?

VA guidelines may allow for shorter waiting periods after major credit events compared to some conventional options. We’ll review your full credit profile and timeline to see what’s possible.

How much are closing costs on a VA loan?

Closing costs vary by state, lender, and specific transaction. While VA limits certain fees, you’ll still have standard expenses such as title, escrow, and prepaid taxes/insurance. Sellers can contribute to closing costs, and we’ll provide a clear estimate before you make any decisions.
