What is a VA loan?

VA loan questions

Who is eligible for a VA loan?

VA loans are for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, certain members of the National Guard and Reserves, and some surviving spouses. Eligibility is confirmed with a Certificate of Eligibility (COE), which we can help you obtain.

Do VA loans really require zero down payment?

For most eligible borrowers, yes — VA loans allow 100% financing with no required down payment on a primary residence, subject to the lender's guidelines and your entitlement.

Is there mortgage insurance on a VA loan?

No. VA loans do not have monthly mortgage insurance. There is instead a one-time VA funding fee, and some borrowers — such as those with a service-connected disability — may be exempt from it.

What is the VA funding fee?

The VA funding fee is a one-time fee that helps sustain the VA loan program. The amount varies based on factors like your down payment and whether it's your first use of the benefit, and it can often be financed into the loan. Certain veterans are exempt.

Can I use a VA loan in Marietta and Cobb County?

Yes. VA loans work throughout Georgia, including Marietta, East Cobb and Cobb County, for eligible borrowers buying a primary residence. We'll help you confirm eligibility and get your paperwork in order.
