Frequently Asked Questions

What is the VA funding fee and who has to pay it?
The VA funding fee is a one-time charge that helps sustain the VA loan program. Most veterans pay 2.3% on first use with zero down. Veterans with 10%+ service-connected disability are exempt.
Can I use a VA loan more than once?
Yes. Full entitlement restores when you sell and pay off a VA loan. You can also have multiple VA loans with remaining entitlement.
Do VA loans require a down payment?
No. VA loans allow 100% financing with no PMI — one of the most valuable benefits for eligible veterans.
How do I get my Certificate of Eligibility?
Apply online at VA.gov, through your lender, or by mail. Most lenders can pull your COE instantly during pre-approval.
Can I use a VA loan for an investment property?
No. VA loans require the property to be your primary residence. You must occupy the home within 60 days of closing.
What is the VA loan limit in my area?
Since 2020, veterans with full entitlement have no VA loan limits. Reduced entitlement applies county conforming limits if you have an active VA loan.
Is a VA loan better than a conventional loan?
For eligible veterans, VA loans typically offer lower rates, no down payment, and no PMI — often saving hundreds per month vs conventional.
Can surviving spouses use VA loans?
Unremarried surviving spouses of service members who died in service or from service-connected disabilities may qualify for VA loan benefits.
