Why VA loans are powerful
A VA loan offers 0% down, no monthly mortgage insurance, and competitive rates for eligible veterans and service members. You’ll need your Certificate of Eligibility and to meet credit and income guidelines.
Eliminating both the down payment and monthly mortgage insurance makes VA one of the most cost-effective ways to buy. It can also be used more than once as you rebuild entitlement.
Using your benefit
We’ll help confirm your entitlement, order your Certificate of Eligibility, and structure the loan. Eligible veterans can sometimes access higher loan amounts and even cash-out refinances against their VA benefit.
The VA loan benefits that matter most
Beyond the headline 0% down, VA loans carry advantages that quietly save veterans thousands. There’s no monthly mortgage insurance — a cost every low-down-payment conventional or FHA borrower pays — which meaningfully lowers your payment. VA rates are typically competitive, credit guidelines are flexible, and the program limits certain closing costs. For eligible veterans buying in California’s higher-cost counties, VA financing can also support larger loan amounts than many expect. It’s one of the strongest loan products available, period.
Using and restoring your entitlement
Your VA entitlement is the benefit that backs the loan, and it’s not one-and-done. After you sell a home and pay off the VA loan, entitlement is typically restored and can be used again. Some veterans even hold two VA loans at once in certain situations, or use a VA cash-out or IRRRL (streamline) refinance later. We help you request your Certificate of Eligibility, confirm your available entitlement, and structure the loan to make the most of the benefit you earned.
