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.

Assumable Financing

Buying a Home with VA Assumption

A VA loan assumption allows a qualified buyer to take over a seller’s existing VA mortgage, potentially keeping the seller’s existing interest rate and loan terms. The buyer does not have to be a Veteran, although an eligible Veteran buyer may be able to use a Substitution of Entitlement.

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.
