What Is a VA Home Loan?

If you’re a veteran, active-duty service member, or eligible surviving spouse, a VA home loan can make buying or refinancing a home easier and more affordable. With zero down payment, no private mortgage insurance, and competitive rates, VA loans offer some of the best financing available.

A VA home loan is a government-backed mortgage guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
