VA Loan Basics

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the top things I need to understand about the VA Loan?

We believe the VA loan is the most underutilized Benefit Veterans have because:

- $0 Down and Interest Rates .25-.5% below Conventional Loans

- VA Loans are nuanced, and many Lenders

Do I really not need a down payment?

For most VA home purchases, qualified borrowers can finance up to 100% of the home’s value with no down payment required. You will still need funds for closing costs and prepaid items, though sometimes these can be covered by seller credits or rolled into the loan when allowed.

Can I use a VA loan to refinance my current mortgage?

Yes. If you already have a VA loan, you may qualify for an Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL). You can also use a VA cash-out refinance to replace a non-VA loan or to access equity for other needs, subject to eligibility and underwriting.

Will using my VA benefit cost me anything?

Most VA loans include a VA funding fee, which helps keep the program available for future veterans. Certain disabled veterans and surviving spouses may be exempt. We will calculate your exact funding fee and show you options to pay it upfront or include it in the loan amount.
