HOME FINANCING
FOR OUR NATION’S HEROES
va home loans
No Down Payments. Excellent Terms.
VA Loans offer unmatched advantages for eligible service members, veterans, and their families. They’re often the most cost-effective way to buy a home, thanks to low rates, zero down payment, and no PMI.
You can use your VA loan benefit more than once, and a family member can even co-purchase with you—no prior service required.
Let’s Chat
VA HOME LOAN FEATURES
Packed with benefits that save you money and make buying a home easier.
No Down Payment Required
You read that correctly. Buy a home with zero dollars down—no need to drain your savings just to get started.
Competitive Interest Rates
VA loans often offer lower rates than conventional loans, helping you save month after month.
No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)
Skip the extra monthly cost—no PMI required, even with no down payment.
Flexible Credit Requirements
Less-than-perfect credit? That’s okay. VA loans are more forgiving when it comes to FICO scores.
DO YOU QUALIFY?
You are eligible for a VA loan if one of the following applies. If you’re not sure—reach out. We’ll help you find out where you stand.
Served 90 consecutive days of active duty during wartime
Served 6 years in the National Guard or Reserves
Completed 181 days of active service during peacetime
Be the spouse of a service member who died in the line of duty or from a service-related disability

As the borrower, you have the control. You have the ability to determine who does your mortgage and what your mortgage does for you. It is just another financial instrument in the world of capitalism that plays by a fixed set of rules that are put in place to protect you, the borrower. There are three factors that determine what you are able to do and that is credit, income and debt. For more information, visit the CFBP.
