Orlando VA Loans

VA loans give eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses a path to homeownership in Orlando with 0% down and no monthly mortgage insurance — a benefit worth using.

The Basics

What is a VA loan?

VA loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members, and eligible surviving spouses. They allow financing up to 100% of the purchase price with no monthly private mortgage insurance, and typically offer competitive rates compared to conventional financing.

Common Questions

VA Loans FAQs

Do I need a down payment for a VA loan?

In most cases, no. VA loans allow financing up to 100% of the purchase price for eligible borrowers, though a down payment can still lower your funding fee and monthly payment if you choose to make one.

How do I know if I'm eligible for a VA loan?

Eligibility generally depends on your length and character of service. We can help you request a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) if you don't already have one on file.

Is there mortgage insurance on a VA loan?

No. VA loans don't carry monthly private mortgage insurance, though most borrowers pay a one-time VA funding fee, which can often be financed into the loan.

Can I use a VA loan for an investment property?

VA loans are intended for a primary residence. Multi-unit properties (up to 4 units) can qualify if you occupy one unit as your primary residence.
