What is a VA Home Loan?
The VA home loan is a government-insured home loan program specifically for active duty military, surviving spouses, reservists and veterans who meets the minimum VA requirements that includes the certificate of eligibility and income documentation. A portion of each loan is guaranteed by the VA to protect the lender's investment if the borrower defaults. This portion is called an “entitlement.” Because of the decreased risk to lenders, eligible borrowers may receive home mortgage loans with up to 100% financing. However borrowers will need money towards closing costs and the earnest money deposit, which the seller generally requires when a sales contract is signed.

The VA Loan Guaranty Service is the organization within the Veterans Benefits Administration (VA) charged with the responsibility of administering the home loan program. Their mission is to help veterans and active duty personnel purchase and retain homes in recognition of their service to the Nation.

VA Funding Fee
Unlike FHA and conventional loans, VA does not charge a private mortgage insurance (PMI) premium for those who are not able to come up with a down payment. Instead, a fee of 2% of the loan amount (2.75 percent for Reservists) is payable when the VA loan closes your loan, and can be included in the loan. The fee is reduced if the veteran makes a down payment of at least 5 percent.

Certificate of Eligibility
Before applying for a VA loan, you will need to get a Certificate of Eligibility. Your lender may be able to get it. But, if the VA doesn't have enough information about you in its database, you may have to request it directly from the VA. Getting a Certificate of Eligibility does not guarantee that you'll get the loan. It just lets the lender know that you are eligible for a VA loan, and it is necessary in order for you to apply for the loan.
