VA Financing
Buying a Home with a VA Loan
Eligible active-duty service members, veterans, and surviving spouses may be able to use a VA loan to purchase a primary residence, subject to VA eligibility and lender requirements. Learn More About VA Loans
- 0% Down Payment: Eligible buyers may be able to purchase a home with no down payment.
- No PMI: VA loans do not require private mortgage insurance.
- Low Interest Rates: VA loans offer competitive interest rates.
- Eligible Properties: VA loans can be used for eligible single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums.
- VA Funding Fee: The funding fee applies to most VA loans. Disabled veterans and certain surviving spouses and Purple Heart recipients may qualify for an exemption.
- VA Appraisal: The home must meet VA requirements and pass a VA appraisal to confirm that it is safe and worth the purchase price.
How It Works:
The buyer assumes the seller’s remaining VA loan balance and existing loan terms, including the interest rate and payment schedule.
Managing the Equity Gap:
Buyers must cover the difference between the purchase price and the seller’s remaining VA loan balance with cash.
Fort Myer Expertise:
As a Northern Virginia resident and Military Realtor®, I help buyers identify Fort Myer-area homes with assumable VA loans, evaluate the equity gap and existing loan terms, and navigate the loan-servicer approval process.
