Guidelines for This Loan
If your details are close to these guidelines, we encourage you to apply or contact us.
Certificate of Eligibility
To qualify for a VA loan, you’ll need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the VA. This document confirms your eligibility and is essential for securing a VA loan.
Credit and Debt Requirements
You can qualify for a VA loan with a credit score as low as 600. However, it's ideal to have less than 45% of your income going toward debt payments, ensuring a strong financial position.
VA Funding Fee
Instead of paying monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI), you’ll pay a one-time VA Funding Fee at closing. This fee is typically around 3% or less of your total loan amount.
Closing Costs
Expect to pay between 3% and 6% of your loan amount for closing costs. These costs cover things like title fees, appraisals, and other necessary expenses.
