Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my VA loan benefit more than once?
Yes. Your VA loan benefit renews after you sell the property or pay off the loan. Some veterans can even carry two VA loans simultaneously if they have remaining entitlement.
What credit score do I need for a VA loan?
The VA itself sets no minimum credit score, but individual lenders typically require 580–620. VA loans are more forgiving of past credit issues than conventional loans.
What is the VA funding fee?
A one-time fee (typically 2.15%–3.3% for first-time use) that can be rolled into your loan balance. Veterans with any service-connected disability rating are exempt from this fee entirely.
How long does the VA loan process take?
Modern VA loan processing is just as fast as conventional loans — typically 30–45 days from application to closing when working with an experienced VA lender.
Can I buy any type of property with a VA loan?
VA loans work for single-family homes, condos (VA-approved lists), multi-unit properties up to 4 units if you live in one, and manufactured homes meeting VA standards.
