How VA financing works

A VA loan lets eligible borrowers buy with no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance, which can make the monthly payment significantly lower than other low-down-payment programs.

The VA also limits certain closing costs and offers streamlined refinance options for current VA borrowers, so the benefit can be used again over time.
