We help you obtain your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to confirm your VA loan entitlement. This can often be retrieved instantly through the VA's automated system. We verify your remaining entitlement and any prior VA loan usage.
With your COE confirmed, we issue a pre-approval letter and connect you with agents experienced in VA transactions. VA loans have specific property requirements, and our team ensures you're looking at eligible properties from the start.
The VA appraisal ensures the property meets VA Minimum Property Requirements (MPRs). Our team manages the appraisal process, coordinates with the VA, and guides you through closing: typically in 30–45 days.

VA loan eligibility extends to active-duty service members (after 90 continuous days of service during wartime or 181 days during peacetime), veterans with an honorable discharge, National Guard and Reserve members (with 6 years of service or 90 days of activation), and surviving spouses of service members who died in service or from a service-connected disability. We help you navigate your specific eligibility scenario.
Yes, the VA charges a one-time funding fee that varies based on your service category, down payment amount, and whether it's your first VA loan. For first-time use with zero down, the fee is typically 2.15% of the loan amount. The fee can be financed into your loan. Disabled veterans and surviving spouses receiving DIC benefits are exempt from the funding fee entirely.
Yes. VA loan entitlement can be restored and reused. If you've sold a previous VA-financed home and paid off the loan, your full entitlement is restored. You can even have two VA loans simultaneously if you have remaining entitlement. We analyze your Certificate of Eligibility to determine your available entitlement and purchasing power.
The VA requires that properties be safe, structurally sound, and sanitary. The VA appraisal checks for adequate heating, plumbing, electrical, and roofing; safe water supply and sewage disposal; no lead-based paint hazards; adequate access from a public road; and no termite or pest damage. These requirements exist to protect veterans from purchasing substandard properties.
