Introduction

Eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and some surviving spouses can access VA loans with no down payment in most cases and no ongoing PMI. A one-time VA funding fee helps sustain the program unless you qualify for a disability exemption.

VA Loan Benefits

Eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and some surviving spouses can access VA loans with no down payment in most cases and no ongoing PMI. A one-time VA funding fee helps sustain the program unless you qualify for a disability exemption.

Funding Fee

The fee varies by first use vs subsequent use, down payment level, and service type. You can finance it into the loan or pay upfront. Exempt veterans pay no funding fee.

VA Entitlement and Limits

Full entitlement allows buying without a down payment in many markets. Partial entitlement may require a down payment when prior VA loans remain open. Check your Certificate of Eligibility for details.
