VA Loan FAQs

Explore answers to common questions from homebuyers like you, so you can move forward with confidence.

Who qualifies for a VA loan?

VA loans are made available to veterans and active duty service members who have served for at least 90 continuous days. Surviving spouses and certain reservists may also be eligible. Learn more about VA loan eligibility on the Veterans Affairs website.

Unlike conventional mortgages, VA loans don’t require a down payment or PMI, but you usually have to pay a funding fee – an initial one-time fee that can be rolled into your loan. Talk to us about your situation, and we’ll help you review the details to make an informed decision.
