VA loan

Mortgage guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, available to eligible service members, veterans, and surviving spouses.

VA loans require no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance, but charge a one-time funding fee that varies with down payment, loan purpose, and prior VA usage. Eligibility is established by the VA's Certificate of Eligibility (COE).
