What Is a VA Loan?

VA loans are mortgages backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible service members, veterans, National Guard and Reserve members, and some surviving spouses. They may offer zero down payment, no monthly PMI, and competitive mortgage rates.

VA Loan Benefits

Zero Down Payment

Eligible borrowers may finance the full purchase price within applicable rules.

No PMI

VA loans generally do not require monthly private mortgage insurance.

VA Funding Fee

A one-time funding fee may apply and can often be financed into the loan.

Competitive Rates

VA mortgage rates are often competitive with conventional financing.

No Program Loan Limit

Eligible borrowers with full entitlement may not have a VA-set loan limit.

Flexible Credit Review

Lenders commonly review credit, residual income, DTI, and overall borrower strength.

VA Funding Fee Schedule

The funding fee varies by down payment, whether the loan is a first or subsequent use, service category, and exemption status.

First Use: 0% down = 2.15% · 5%+ down = 1.50% · 10%+ down = 1.25%

Subsequent Use: 0% down = 3.30% · 5%+ down = 1.50% · 10%+ down = 1.25%

Reserves/National Guard: The calculator adds 0.15% to the automatic estimate.

VA Loan vs. Other Options

VA financing can be highly competitive for eligible borrowers because it may combine zero down payment, no monthly PMI, and favorable terms. Compare the funding fee, rate, monthly payment, and long-term costs with FHA and conventional financing before choosing a loan.
