VA Loans Explained: $0 Down for Veterans & Military
Everything you need to know about VA loan benefits — no down payment, no PMI, competitive rates, and how to get your Certificate of Eligibility.
If you served in the military, you earned one of the most powerful home financing benefits available: the VA loan. And yes — it really can mean $0 down.
Key VA loan benefits
- No down payment required for eligible borrowers
- No private mortgage insurance (PMI) — saving hundreds per month
- Competitive interest rates — often lower than conventional
- Flexible credit guidelines compared to many conventional programs
- Reusable benefit — use it again when you move or refinance
Who is eligible?
Generally, VA loans are available to:
- Active-duty service members
- Veterans who served the minimum required time
- Eligible surviving spouses
- Certain National Guard and Reserve members
You’ll need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to confirm your entitlement. I can help you obtain it — it’s often faster than you think.
