VA loans are available to active-duty service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses. A Certificate of Eligibility from the VA is required to show whether you qualify based on your service history and duty status. Your mortgage loan officer will work with you to obtain the Certificate of Eligibility and can help you better understand how VA loans work.
VA loans are available to active-duty service members and veterans who have served at least 90 days of consecutive service during wartime or 181 days during peacetime. National Guard members and reservists are eligible for a VA loan after six years of service or 181 days of active-duty service. Other requirements and restrictions may apply. Eligible surviving spouses may also qualify.
Active-duty service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses can use their VA loan benefit as many times as they’d like throughout their lifetime. As long as you’re eligible and meet the requirements of your lender, there’s no limit to how many times you can use a VA loan.
A great place to start is to get prequalified. You can also speak with a mortgage loan officer if you’re looking for more details on how you can better prepare for a VA loan.
Yes. Even if you don’t meet the usual military service qualifications, you may be able to take over the terms of an existing VA loan. To qualify, you must meet the credit score and income requirements of the lender. A down payment may also be required in some cases. In addition, you’ll be responsible for a funding fee equal to 0.5% of the loan balance.
No. PMI is never required on VA loans.
Here are the main advantages of a VA loan:
- Low or no down payment options: VA loans require little or no money down at closing.
- Lower monthly payments: Even with no down payment, mortgage insurance is not required. Because the VA guarantees a portion of your loan, you save on this monthly expense.
- A simplified approval process: VA loans were designed to offset common financial challenges faced by military families and veterans, and to simplify the approval process.
- Military banking services: U.S. Bank has products especially for military service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses. Learn more about military banking.
VA loans may be used to purchase land and property together, but not land alone. If you have immediate plans to build on the property, a VA loan can be used for the purchase of the land and the construction of the home.
