Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a VA loan?
A VA loan is a government-backed mortgage designed for veterans, active-duty service members, and eligible surviving spouses. It often allows you to purchase a home with no down payment, no private mortgage insurance (PMI), and competitive interest rates.
2. Do I need a down payment with a VA loan?
No! One of the biggest advantages of a VA loan is that it typically requires no down payment, making it easier to buy a home without saving tens of thousands of dollars upfront.
3. Who is eligible for a VA loan?
You may qualify if you’re:
An active-duty service member
A veteran who meets service length requirements
A National Guard or Reserve member with six years of service
A surviving spouse of a service member who died in the line of duty or from a service-connected disability
4. How do I prove I’m eligible?
You’ll need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). Most VA-approved lenders can help you obtain this quickly during the pre-approval process.
5. What is the VA funding fee?
This is a one-time fee that helps fund the VA loan program. The amount depends on your loan type and whether it’s your first VA loan. Some borrowers—especially those with a service-connected disability—may be exempt.
6. What types of homes can I buy with a VA loan?
You can use a VA loan to purchase:
A single-family home
A townhouse or VA-approved condo
A multi-unit property (up to 4 units, if you live in one)
Manufactured or modular homes (if the lender allows and VA standards are met)
7. Can I use a VA loan if I’m currently stationed elsewhere?
Yes. You can still purchase a home near your next duty station, even if you're not there yet. I often help clients purchase homes sight-unseen with video tours and digital contracts to make the process easier.
