Frequently Asked Questions

What is a VA home loan?

A VA home loan is a mortgage loan program available to active-duty service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses. It's guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and typically requires no down payment, has no PMI requirement, and offers competitive interest rates.

How does loan assumption work?

Loan assumption allows a buyer to take over the seller's existing mortgage with its current terms, including the interest rate. For VA and FHA loans, this can mean significant savings if the existing loan has a lower rate than current market rates. The buyer must qualify with the lender and meet all requirements.

Can I use my VA loan more than once?

Yes! Your VA loan benefit can be used multiple times throughout your lifetime. After you pay off a VA loan and sell the property, your entitlement is restored and can be used again. In some cases, you may even have enough remaining entitlement to purchase another home before selling your current one.

What is BAH and how is it calculated?

Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is a monthly allowance paid to service members to offset the cost of housing. It's calculated based on your duty station's zip code, pay grade, and dependency status. BAH rates are reviewed annually and adjusted based on local housing costs.
