VA home loans are backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and available to eligible active-duty military, veterans, and surviving spouses. Because the federal government guarantees a portion of the loan, lenders provide favorable terms with 0% down payment and no ongoing monthly PMI.
Qualified borrowers can purchase a primary residence without any upfront down payment while avoiding costly monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI).

Veterans with a service-connected disability of 10% or higher, Purple Heart recipients, and surviving spouses are 100% exempt from the VA funding fee.

| Down Payment 5% to < 10% (5.00% - 9.99%) | 1.50% | 1.50% | 0.00% (Exempt) |
