FAQ

VA Loan Questions

Who is eligible for a VA loan?

Most veterans, active-duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members who meet service requirements, and some surviving spouses.

Do I really need no down payment?

Yes. With full entitlement, you can buy with $0 down, and there’s no VA loan limit. Putting money down can lower your funding fee.

What is the VA funding fee?

A one-time fee that keeps the program running. It’s a percentage of the loan based on your down payment and whether you’ve used the benefit before, and it can be added to the loan. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation are exempt.

Can I use a VA loan more than once?

Yes. Your entitlement can be restored when you sell and pay off the loan, and in some cases you can have two VA loans at once.

Can I refinance a VA loan?

Yes. A VA Streamline (IRRRL) can lower your rate with less paperwork, and a VA cash-out refinance lets you tap your equity.

How do I get my Certificate of Eligibility?

We can usually pull it for you online in minutes. You can also request it through the VA.
