Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need $0 down?

Yes. With full entitlement, a VA purchase loan can finance 100% of the price, so you don't need a down payment. You will still have some closing costs, but the down payment itself can be zero. A down payment is optional and can lower your funding fee.

What is a Certificate of Eligibility and how do I get one?

The COE is the document that proves to a lender that you qualify for a VA loan based on your service. You do not have to hunt it down. In most cases, Travis can pull your COE electronically in a few minutes once he has your basic service information.

What is the funding fee, and am I exempt?

It is a one-time fee that replaces monthly mortgage insurance and keeps the VA program funded. For a first-time purchase with no down payment, it is 2.15% of the loan in 2026. If you receive VA disability compensation, are a Purple Heart recipient on active duty, or are an eligible surviving spouse, you are exempt and pay $0. You can also roll the fee into your loan.

Is there PMI on a VA loan?

No, never. VA loans have no monthly private mortgage insurance, no matter how little you put down. That alone can save you hundreds of dollars a month compared to a conventional or FHA loan.

Can I use my VA benefit more than once?

Yes. The VA loan is a reusable benefit. When you sell your home or pay off the loan, your entitlement is restored, and you can use it again. In some cases, you can even have more than one VA loan at a time. Travis will walk you through your entitlement.

What credit score do I need?

The VA itself sets no minimum credit score. Lenders set their own guidelines, and VA loans are generally more forgiving than conventional loans. Even if your credit isn't perfect, it is worth a conversation before you assume you do not qualify.

Are there VA loan limits in a market like Clarksville, TN, or Fort Campbell?

If you have full entitlement, there is no VA loan limit. That matters in the Central Tennessee market, where a strong VA buyer can compete for the home they actually want without a cap holding them back.

Can I get a VA loan after bankruptcy or foreclosure?

Often, yes. VA guidelines include waiting periods after a bankruptcy or foreclosure that are usually shorter than conventional requirements. Once enough time has passed and your credit has recovered, your benefit remains. Ask Travis where you stand.

How long does a VA loan take to close?

A VA purchase typically closes in a timeframe similar to a conventional loan, often around 30 to 45 days, depending on the appraisal and your file. A VA IRRRL streamline refinance can move much faster. Travis keeps you posted at every stage.
