VA Loans

What Are VA Loans?

VA loans are designed to make it easier for active-duty military, veterans, and surviving military spouses to purchase their primary residence. A down payment can be one of the biggest barriers to purchasing a home but with a VA loan, you don’t need one.

Just like the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) backs some loans, the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) backs VA loans. And just like the FHA doesn’t actually administer the loans, neither does the VA. However, you will need to apply to the VA to get a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). After that, you will be able to apply for a VA loan through us..

We can help you figure out if you’re qualified and let you know about all of the things you’re going to need for your application.
