FAQs
What is a VA home loan?
- A VA loan is a mortgage backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
- It helps eligible buyers purchase a primary residence, often with fewer upfront hurdles than some loan types.
Who is eligible for a VA loan?
- Many Veterans, active-duty, National Guard/Reserve members, and some surviving spouses may qualify.
- Your lender checks your service history through your COE.
What is a COE (Certificate of Eligibility)?
A COE confirms you meet VA eligibility rules for the benefit.
Many lenders can pull it for you, or you can request it through the VA.
Do VA loans require a down payment?
Sometimes you can buy with $0 down.
Your down payment option depends on factors like purchase price, entitlement, and lender guidelines.
Do VA loans have PMI?
VA loans do not charge monthly PMI like many conventional low-down-payment loans.
You may still have other costs like homeowners insurance and property taxes.
Can I use a VA loan more than once?
Yes, the benefit can be reusable.
Reuse depends on how much entitlement you have available and whether you’ve restored it after selling/refinancing.
How long does a VA loan take to close?
Many close in a similar window to other mortgages.
Timelines depend on your paperwork speed, appraisal scheduling, and underwriting.
