What your VA benefit actually gets you

Most veterans who qualify never use it. Here's exactly what you're leaving on the table.

$0

No down payment required

The VA loan is one of the only loan programs that lets you buy a home with zero down — no PMI, no penalty, no catch. Your service is your down payment.

No PMI

No private mortgage insurance

Conventional loans charge PMI when you put less than 20% down — often $100–$300/month. VA loans skip it entirely, saving you thousands over the life of your loan.

Lower rates

Rates that beat the market

VA loans consistently offer lower interest rates than conventional loans — the government backing means less risk for lenders and better rates for you.

Reusable

Use it more than once

Your VA benefit isn't a one-time thing. You can use it multiple times throughout your life — even if you still have a remaining VA loan balance in some cases.

Flexible

Credit flexibility

VA loans have no official minimum credit score set by the VA. Most lenders work with scores around 580–620, making it accessible even if your credit isn't perfect.

No limits

No loan limits (full entitlement)

If you have full entitlement, there's no VA loan limit — you can borrow as much as a lender will approve. This is especially powerful in higher-cost markets like Metro Atlanta.

Today's VA rates

VA rates typically run 0.25–0.5% lower than conventional — here's how they compare right now.

Monthly payment examples are for a $350k loan amount. Taxes and insurance not included; actual payment will be greater.

Getting your Certificate of Eligibility

Before you can use your VA benefit, you need a COE. Here's how it works — it's simpler than it sounds.

01

We request it for you

Most lenders — including us — can pull your COE directly through the VA's automated system in minutes. You don't have to do it yourself.

02

Or apply online yourself

If you prefer, you can apply through the VA's eBenefits portal at va.gov. You'll need your DD-214 or service records.

03

Then you're ready to buy

Once your COE is confirmed, you can move forward with full preapproval. The whole process usually takes less than 24 hours when we handle it.

"

As a 100% disabled vet, I didn't think I'd be able to buy a home on my own. Julie walked me through every single step, found the funding fee waiver I qualified for, and we closed in 21 days. I finally have a place to call mine.

"You've got military time that counts.
Let's use it."

A lot of veterans don't think their service qualifies, or that the benefit is too complicated, or that they make too little — or too much. Almost all of those concerns turn out to be wrong. The VA loan exists because you earned it. Our job is to make sure you actually use it.

VA loan questions answered

Straight answers — no military-to-civilian translation required.

Can I use my VA benefit more than once?+
Yes. Your VA benefit is reusable. If you've paid off a previous VA loan (or sold the home and paid it off), your full entitlement is restored. You can even have two VA loans at once in some situations — for example if you're PCS'ing and need to buy before selling.
What is the VA funding fee and do I have to pay it?+
The VA funding fee is a one-time fee paid to the VA — typically 1.25%–3.3% of the loan amount. You can roll it into the loan so you don't need cash at closing. Veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 10% or more are completely exempt from the funding fee.
Do VA loans take longer to close than conventional loans?+
Not with us. We target the same 21–30 day close as a conventional loan. The VA appraisal checks for safety and habitability requirements that conventional appraisals don't — but we factor that in from day one and work around it.
Can I use a VA loan to buy a multi-family property?+
Yes — up to a 4-unit property, as long as you occupy one unit as your primary residence. This is a popular strategy for veterans who want to house hack: live in one unit and rent the others to offset your mortgage payment.
What's the difference between a VA loan and a VA IRRRL?+
A VA IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan) lets you refinance an existing VA loan to a lower rate with minimal paperwork and no appraisal in most cases. It's one of the fastest refinance options available and is how you take advantage of rate drops after closing.
Can surviving spouses use the VA benefit?+
Yes. Un-remarried surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from a service-connected disability are eligible for the VA home loan benefit. If you're a surviving spouse and aren't sure whether you qualify, reach out — we'll find out for you.
