VA Home Loan

Home financing for eligible borrowers

VA-backed home loans may be available to eligible Veterans, service members, and surviving spouses. Eligibility, entitlement, occupancy, property, and lender requirements apply; a Certificate of Eligibility does not guarantee loan approval.

Down payment and mortgage insurance

A down payment may not be required for an eligible transaction, and VA-backed loans do not require monthly mortgage insurance. A down payment may still be needed in some situations, including circumstances involving available entitlement or the property value.

Funding fee and other costs

A VA funding fee generally applies unless the borrower qualifies for an exemption. Closing costs and other charges may also apply. Financing a fee increases the amount borrowed and can increase total interest. Ask for a personalized explanation of fees and any applicable exemption.
