Why choose a VA Loan?

No money down VA loans are available at a 0% down payment
Competitive interest rates VA mortgage rates are among the lowest on the market
Easier to qualify Since VA loans are guaranteed by the government, lenders are able to offer attractive terms

Am I eligible?

According to the VA, “Your length of service or service commitment, duty status and character of service determine your eligibility for specific home loan benefits". VA mortgage borrowers must have good credit, income sufficient to cover the cost of their monthly mortgage payments and a "Certificate of Eligibility."

The first step in establishing your eligibility is to complete VA Form 26-1880, Request for a Certificate of Eligibility. This form can be completed online, printed and mailed, or you can apply through a VA mortgage lender. For more information on eligibility, click here.

You qualify for a VA loan if you have:


  • 90 days of consecutive service during wartime, or
  • 181 days of service during peacetime, or
  • 6 years of service in the National Guard or reserves
  • Or are surviving spouse of a veteran
