VA Loans

Not every loan fits every situation. Here’s how I match you to the one that fits yours.

What is it?

A VA loan is a mortgage backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and some surviving spouses. It’s one of the strongest benefits earned through service.

Quick facts

No down payment in most cases
No monthly mortgage insurance
A funding fee may apply, with exemptions for some borrowers

Who it fits

  • Veterans and active-duty service members
  • Eligible National Guard and Reserve members
  • Some surviving spouses
  • Buyers who want to keep more cash available at closing

Good to know

VA loans often don’t require a down payment and don’t require monthly mortgage insurance. A VA funding fee may apply, with exemptions for some borrowers. You’ll need a Certificate of Eligibility, and I can help you get that started. The property must also meet VA standards.

The process

  1. Step 1

    We confirm your Certificate of Eligibility (COE)

  2. Step 2

    I check remaining entitlement if you’ve used a VA loan before

  3. Step 3

    We move fast, no down payment or PMI to plan around

Yes, there are VA refinance options, depending on your situation.

Is the funding fee required?

It depends on your service and loan details. I’ll confirm yours.
