## What Is a VA Loan?

A VA loan is a mortgage benefit provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, National Guard members, reservists, and surviving spouses. The VA guarantees a portion of the loan, allowing lenders to offer better terms than most borrowers could get elsewhere.

The headline benefits are hard to beat: **no down payment required**, **no private mortgage insurance**, and **competitively low interest rates**. These three features alone can save a veteran tens of thousands of dollars over the life of a loan compared to conventional financing.

Nate has helped many veterans use their VA benefits for the first time — and he's seen firsthand how much of a difference it makes. If you've served, this benefit is yours. Let's make sure you use it right.

Common Questions

## VA Loan FAQs

Everything you need to know about using your VA home loan benefit.

Who is eligible for a VA loan?

VA loans are available to: **veterans** with honorable discharge, **active-duty service members** (after 90 continuous days of service), **National Guard and Reserve members** (typically after 6 years of service or 90 days of active duty under Title 10), and **surviving spouses** of veterans who died in service or from a service-connected disability. Nate can help you confirm your eligibility quickly.

What is a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and how do I get one?

A COE is the document that proves to your lender that you're eligible for a VA loan. You can get one through the [VA's eBenefits portal](https://www.va.gov/housing-assistance/home-loans/how-to-apply/), through your lender (Nate can often pull it automatically), or by mail using VA Form 26-1880. Most lenders can obtain your COE electronically in minutes once you start your application.

What is the VA funding fee and do I have to pay it?

The VA funding fee is a one-time fee paid to the VA to help sustain the loan program. For first-time use with 0% down, it's typically **2.15%** of the loan amount (lower with a down payment). It can be rolled into the loan. **The funding fee is waived entirely** for veterans receiving VA disability compensation or surviving spouses of veterans who died in service. Ask Nate if you qualify for a waiver.

Can I use my VA loan benefit more than once?

Yes — your VA entitlement is reusable. Once you pay off a VA loan (or sell the property), your entitlement is typically restored and you can use it again. You can even have **two VA loans at the same time** if you have enough remaining entitlement. Nate can review your entitlement status and explain what's available to you.

Is a VA loan always the best option for a veteran?

In most cases, yes — especially if you're putting less than 20% down. The combination of no down payment and no PMI is extremely powerful. However, for veterans with strong credit and a large down payment, conventional loans occasionally offer competitive rates worth comparing. Nate will run both scenarios side-by-side so you can make an informed decision.
