The VA Purchase
What are VA purchase loans?
VA purchase loans are mortgages guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that enable eligible Veterans, active duty personnel, some Reservists/National Guard members, and certain surviving spouses to buy a primary residence with favorable terms. The VA’s guaranty replaces the need for mortgage insurance and allows private lenders to extend credit with little or no down payment.
Because the benefit rests on a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) tied to military service, it is a lifetime entitlement that can be used more than once, provided prior loans are repaid or entitlement is restored.
