Why Choose a VA Mortgage?

If you’ve served our country — whether as a Veteran, active-duty service member, member of the National Guard or Reserves, or an eligible surviving spouse — the VA home loan program is one of the most valuable benefits available to you. Backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, VA loans offer unmatched affordability and long-term value.

Whether you’re buying your first home, relocating, or refinancing, understanding the advantages of a VA mortgage helps you make informed, confident financial decisions.

Top Benefits of the VA Home Loan Program

1. No Down Payment Required

VA loans allow you to buy a home with $0 down. This benefit removes one of the biggest hurdles to homeownership: saving for a large down payment.

2. No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)

With a VA mortgage, you won’t pay monthly PMI — even with no down payment. This can save you hundreds of dollars every month compared to conventional financing.

3. Competitive Interest Rates

Because VA loans are backed by the government, lenders offer lower interest rates. That means lower monthly payments and significant savings over the life of your loan.

4. Flexible Credit Guidelines

VA loans are more forgiving when it comes to credit scores and past financial history, helping more Veterans and military families qualify for home financing.

5. Limited Closing Costs

The VA limits what lenders can charge in fees, keeping closing costs lower and helping protect your out-of-pocket expenses.

6. A Lifetime Benefit

VA loan entitlement is not a one-time use. You can use your benefit multiple times, even after selling a home or paying off a prior VA loan.

7. Foreclosure Avoidance Support

If you ever face financial hardship, the VA offers dedicated foreclosure prevention resources to help you stay in your home or explore other options.

Who Is Eligible for a VA Loan?

You may be eligible if you meet at least one of the following:

• Veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces (wartime or peacetime)
