Frequently Asked Questions
VA loans, are a government-backed (Department of Veterans Affairs) loan program designed specifically to make homeownership more accessible to veterans. Here are the top 5 questions frequently asked by our clients about VA loans.
The eligibility requirements for VA loans are flexible and inclusive. Generally, you qualify if you served active duty in the U.S. military for at least 90 days during wartime, or 181 days during peacetime. National Guard and Reserve members with 6 years of service or more also qualify. Additionally, spouses of service members who died in the line of duty, or as a result of a service-connected disability, can qualify for survivor's benefits.
One of the biggest benefits of a VA loan is the flexibility to buy a home with no down payment required. This makes homeownership achievable for veterans without significant savings. However, some lenders may still require a minimum down payment, depending on your financial situation and credit score.
Beyond the zero down payment, VA loans typically offer lower interest rates than conventional loans thanks to the government guarantee that reduces risk for lenders. Also, VA loans don't require PMI (private mortgage insurance), which reduces your monthly payments.
While you can avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) with a VA loan, there are a few fees to be aware of. The VA funding fee is a one-time charge that helps offset the program's costs. This fee can be financed into your loan or paid upfront, and the amount varies depending on your down payment and entitlement use. Additionally, lenders may charge origination fees and other closing costs.
The VA loan application process is similar to applying for any mortgage. You'll need to collect all your financial documents, get pre-approved by a VA-approved lender, and choose a property. You can even contact your local VA-approved lender to guide you through the paperwork and application process.
