Your first home, with the benefit you earned.

A VA loan is guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which lets lenders offer terms many first-time buyers can’t find elsewhere. Lance walks you through eligibility, your Certificate of Eligibility, budgeting and the offer process in plain language, so nothing about your first purchase feels like guesswork.

What first-time buyers get with a VA loan

No down payment

Eligible borrowers with full entitlement can often finance 100% of the purchase price, keeping your savings in your pocket.

No monthly mortgage insurance

VA loans do not require monthly private mortgage insurance, which can lower your payment compared with many other loans.

Competitive rates

The VA guaranty reduces lender risk, and VA loans are known for competitive interest rates.

Closing costs kept in check

VA rules limit certain fees a borrower can be charged, and sellers may be able to contribute toward your closing costs.
