Is this you?

Where it fits, and where to look twice

A strong fit when…

You’re a veteran, active-duty, National Guard/Reserve, or an eligible surviving spouse.
You want to keep cash in your pocket with little or no down payment.
You’d rather avoid the monthly mortgage insurance other low-down loans carry.

Worth weighing…

A one-time VA funding fee applies, though it can be financed, and many borrowers are exempt.
The home must meet VA appraisal and condition standards.
Entitlement and prior VA-loan use can affect your terms, we’ll sort it out.

How it works

The shape of the loan

Guaranteed by the VA

The Department of Veterans Affairs guarantees a portion of the loan, which is why lenders can offer $0 down and no monthly MI. We match your file to the best VA lender.

No monthly mortgage insurance

Unlike FHA and low-down conventional, VA skips monthly mortgage insurance entirely, a meaningful payment savings every month.

Reusable and assumable

Your VA benefit can be used more than once, and VA loans can sometimes be assumed by a qualified buyer down the road.

Common questions

Answered straight

Do I really need $0 down?+

Many VA buyers put nothing down, though a down payment can lower or remove the funding fee. We’ll show both.

What is the funding fee?+

A one-time fee that helps sustain the program. It can usually be rolled into the loan, and veterans with a service-connected disability are often exempt.

Can I use my VA benefit more than once?+

Yes, your entitlement can be restored and reused. If you’ve used it before, we’ll calculate your remaining entitlement.
