Common VA Loan Questions
Do I qualify for a VA loan?
VA loans are available to active-duty service members, veterans, National Guard and Reserve members who meet service requirements, and surviving spouses of service members. We'll help you determine your eligibility and obtain your Certificate of Eligibility quickly and easily.
How much can I borrow with a VA loan?
While the VA doesn't set a maximum loan amount, lenders do have limits based on your income, debts, and the property value. Most qualified borrowers can finance up to 100% of the home's value with no down payment required.
What is the VA funding fee?
The VA funding fee is a one-time fee that helps offset the cost of the VA loan program. The fee varies based on your service type, down payment amount, and whether it's your first VA loan. The fee can be financed into your loan amount. Some veterans, including those with service-connected disabilities, are exempt from this fee.
Can I use a VA loan more than once?
Yes! Your VA loan benefit can be used multiple times throughout your lifetime. Once you've paid off a previous VA loan, your entitlement is restored and can be used again. In some cases, you may even be able to have more than one VA loan at a time.
What types of properties can I buy with a VA loan?
VA loans can be used to purchase single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums (in VA-approved projects), manufactured homes, and multi-unit properties (up to four units) where you'll occupy one unit as your primary residence.
How long does the VA loan process take?
The timeline can vary, but we work diligently to close VA loans as quickly as possible. Many factors affect timing, including how quickly we receive your Certificate of Eligibility and complete the VA appraisal. We'll provide you with a realistic timeline and keep you updated throughout the process.
Should I refinance my current VA loan?
Refinancing can be beneficial if you can secure a lower interest rate through a VA IRRRL (streamline refinance) or if you want to access equity through a VA cash-out refinance. We'll analyze your current loan and help you determine if refinancing makes sense for your situation.
