Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! This is not a one-time loan option. You have earned your VA Home Loan Benefit and it’s yours for life. You can reuse the benefit as many times as you want.
-
The VA funding fee is a one-time payment that the Veteran, service member, or survivor pays the VA-backed home loan program.
This fee helps to lower the cost of the loan for U.S. taxpayers since the VA home loan program does not require a down payment or monthly mortgage insurance.
If you’re required to have a funding fee, it’s financed into your loan and not paid out-of-pocket.
-
Veterans who receive VA compensation for service-connected disabilities of 10% or greater do not have to pay for a funding fee.
Veterans who would receive disability compensation if they didn’t receive retirement pay.
Veterans rated as eligible to receive compensation based on a pre-discharge exam or review.
Veterans who can but are not receiving compensation because they’re on active duty.
Purple Heart recipients.
Surviving spouses (who are not remarried) are eligible for a VA home loan.
-
Yes, lenders must calculate your student loan(s) as monthly liabilities when being qualified. However, VA is the most lenient of all programs and there are a couple different ways:
Student Loans in Forbearance: Loan balance X 5% / 12 months (ex: $5,000 loan x 5% = $250, divided by 12 months = $20.83 per month).
Student Loans on Income Based Repayment (IBR): Lender takes the contracted monthly payment on the IBR.
-
Once you own a home, VA makes it simple to refinance into a lower rate & payment or to pull up to 100% of your home’s value out.
“Streamline” Refinance (IRRRL): Refinance into a lower rate (when available) with minimal documentation and NO appraisal!
Cash-Out Refinance: Take out up to 100% of the home value for debt-consolidation, home improvements, pay for higher education and much more.
