VA Loan Questions, Answered
Common questions about VA loan eligibility, benefits, and how the process works.
1. Do VA loans require a down payment?
2. What is the VA funding fee?
The VA funding fee is a one-time fee paid at closing that helps fund the VA loan program. The amount depends on your down payment, loan type, and whether you have used your VA benefit before. The fee can be rolled into the loan. Veterans with a service-connected disability rating may be exempt from the funding fee entirely.
3. Can I use my VA loan benefit more than once?
Yes. VA loan eligibility is not a one-time benefit. As long as you meet service requirements and have remaining entitlement, you can use a VA loan to purchase another home. You can also have more than one VA loan at a time in some circumstances. Speak with us to confirm your current entitlement status.
4. How do I get a Certificate of Eligibility for a VA loan?
