What Is a VA Loan?
A VA loan is a mortgage guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It is available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses. VA loans require no down payment and no private mortgage insurance.

- Surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from a service-connected disability.
- Certificate of Eligibility (COE) required.
