Frequently Asked Questions

Do VA loans require a down payment?

Most eligible borrowers can finance without a down payment, which is one of the defining features of the program. Entitlement, the property and your qualifications all affect what is available to you. We will confirm your entitlement against your Certificate of Eligibility.

What is the VA funding fee?

A one-time fee paid to the VA on most VA loans. It varies by loan type and circumstances, and many veterans are exempt entirely, including those receiving service-connected disability compensation and certain surviving spouses. We confirm exemption status before quoting.

Can I use a VA loan more than once?

Yes. VA entitlement can be restored and in some circumstances used for more than one loan at a time. This is one of the more commonly misunderstood parts of the program and is worth a conversation rather than a calculator.

Does a calculator estimate include taxes and insurance?

Only if it asks for them. A payment estimate that covers principal and interest alone will understate your true monthly cost, which in Texas is meaningful because property taxes are comparatively high. Ask for a full estimate including taxes, insurance and any applicable dues.
