What is a VA Loan?

A VA loan is a mortgage guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

VA loans offer some of the best terms available in the mortgage market — including zero down payment and no private mortgage insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions About VA Loans

What is the VA funding fee?

The VA funding fee is a one-time payment that helps offset the cost of the VA loan program for taxpayers. The fee ranges from 1.25% to 3.3% of the loan amount depending on your down payment and whether it is your first VA loan. Veterans with service-connected disabilities are exempt from the funding fee.

Can I use my VA loan benefit more than once?

Yes! Your VA loan benefit can be used multiple times. As long as you have remaining entitlement and meet the eligibility requirements, you can use your VA benefit to purchase a new home. You can even have two VA loans at the same time in some circumstances.

Is there a VA loan limit?

As of 2020, there is no longer a VA loan limit for veterans with full entitlement. This means eligible veterans can purchase a home of any price with zero down payment (subject to lender approval). Veterans with reduced entitlement may still have limits.
