Talk To An ExpertWhat Is a VA Loan?
A VA loan is a mortgage guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses. The VA guaranty protects lenders against loss, enabling them to offer favorable terms — including zero down payment and no private mortgage insurance — that would otherwise be unavailable. VA loans are issued by private lenders like LendingPurpose.com, not the VA itself.
VA Loan Benefits
Benefits you've earned through your service.
No Down Payment Required
Eligible veterans can finance 100% of the home purchase price — no down payment needed, preserving your savings.
No Private Mortgage Insurance
VA loans never require PMI, saving you hundreds of dollars per month compared to conventional loans with less than 20% down.
Competitive Interest Rates
VA loans typically carry lower interest rates than conventional mortgages because the VA guaranty reduces lender risk.
Flexible Credit Guidelines
More lenient credit and debt-to-income requirements make VA loans accessible to veterans who may not qualify for conventional financing.
No Prepayment Penalty
Pay off your loan early or make extra payments at any time without penalty — your benefit, your timeline.
Lifetime Benefit
Your VA loan entitlement can be used multiple times. Once restored, it can be reused for future home purchases.
Who Is Eligible?
VA loan eligibility is based on your service history and discharge status.
Active Duty Service Members
Minimum 90 continuous days of active service during wartime, or 181 days during peacetime.
Veterans
Honorable or general discharge after meeting minimum service requirements (varies by era of service).
National Guard & Reserves
6 years of service, or 90 days of active duty under Title 10 orders.
Surviving Spouses
Unremarried surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from a service-connected disability.
VA Funding Fee: Most VA borrowers pay a one-time funding fee (typically 1.25%–3.3% of the loan amount) that helps sustain the program. Veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 10% or more are exempt from this fee. The funding fee can be financed into the loan.
The VA Loan Process
We guide you through every step — from COE to closing.
Obtain Your Certificate of Eligibility (COE)
We can request your COE directly through the VA portal on your behalf — most are issued instantly online.
Pre-Qualification & Pre-Approval
We review your income, credit, and entitlement to issue a pre-approval letter so you can shop with confidence.
Find Your Home
Work with your real estate agent to find a property. The home must be your primary residence and meet VA Minimum Property Requirements (MPRs).
VA Appraisal
A VA-assigned appraiser confirms the property's value and ensures it meets MPRs. This protects you from overpaying.
Underwriting & Closing
We process your loan, coordinate with the title company, and guide you through closing — including the VA funding fee, which can be financed into the loan.
