What is a VA loan?
A VA loan is a home loan backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It’s designed for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, certain Guard and Reserve members, and some surviving spouses. The VA provides the backing. A lender still approves the loan and sets the rate. Run numbers with my VA calculator
Who qualifies?
You may qualify if one of the following applies:
- You’re a veteran who met minimum active-duty service rules
- You’re active duty
- You served in the Guard or Reserves long enough to meet VA rules
- You’re a surviving spouse who meets VA guidelines
You’ll need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). I can help you pull it in minutes.
Property and occupancy basics
- Primary residence only
- A 1- to 4-unit home, condo, or some planned unit developments may work
- You agree to move in within a set time after closing
Why many Ohio buyers choose VA
$0 down payment
Buy a home with no money down if you qualify.
No monthly mortgage insurance
There’s no monthly PMI on VA loans. That helps keep the payment lower.
Flexible credit and debt rules
Past credit bumps don’t always block approval. Let’s check your numbers.
Often strong interest rates
Rates are often competitive compared to other loan types.
Refinance choices
- IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan) for lower rate opportunities on an existing VA loan, with less paperwork
- Cash-out refinance may be possible if you want to tap equity
VA funding fee
Most VA loans include a one-time funding fee paid at closing or added to the loan. The amount varies by use and down payment. Many veterans with a service-connected disability rating and some surviving spouses don’t pay this fee.
VA loan limits and entitlement in Ohio
If you have full VA entitlement, you won’t face a standard VA loan limit. If you have remaining or partial entitlement, county loan limits may apply. Not sure which bucket you’re in? I’ll check it for you and explain in plain English.
