Every way to put your benefit to work.
The VA loan isn't one product — it's a set of tools. Here's the whole toolbox, plainly explained.
VA Purchase Loan
Buy your first home — or your next — with $0 down.
The VA purchase loan is the benefit you earned. Skip the down payment, skip PMI, and close on a home that fits your life — not the bank's rulebook.
- No down payment required
- No monthly private mortgage insurance
- Competitive fixed rates
- Flexible credit requirements
IRRRL Streamline Refinance
Lower your rate without the paperwork mountain.
The Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) exists for one reason: to make lowering your rate as painless as possible for veterans who already have a VA loan.
- Minimal documentation
- No appraisal required in most cases
- Roll closing costs into the loan
- Move to a fixed rate from an ARM
VA Cash-Out Refinance
Turn your home's equity into flexibility.
Take equity out of your home for what matters — a renovation, a business, tuition, debt payoff — with the borrower protections VA loans are known for.
- Borrow up to 100% of home value
- Consolidate high-interest debt
- Fund home improvements or education
- Available on non-VA loans too
VA Jumbo Loan
Buy in high-cost markets without settling.
Coastal markets and metro pricing don't have to shrink your options. VA jumbo loans keep your zero-down benefit intact on larger purchases.
- Loan amounts above conforming limits
- No down payment with full entitlement
- Competitive jumbo pricing
- Available in every state
VA Construction Loan
Build your custom home with your VA benefit — $0 down.
Building from the ground up doesn't have to mean two loans, two closings, and a stack of fees. The VA construction loan wraps the build and the permanent mortgage into one file with the same veteran-friendly terms.
- One-time close (construction + permanent)
- $0 down on the full construction cost
- VA-approved builder required
- Locked long-term rate at closing
VA Renovation Loan
Buy a fixer or upgrade the home you have — with one loan.
The VA renovation loan (also called the VA rehab loan) folds cosmetic and non-structural repairs into your mortgage so you can close on a home that needs work — and pay for it at your mortgage rate, not a credit-card rate.
- Finance repairs into your purchase or refi
- Up to $50,000 in renovations (typical)
- Same $0-down, no-PMI benefits
- One appraisal, one closing
Native American Direct Loan (NADL)
Direct-from-VA financing for eligible Native American veterans.
The NADL is the VA's only direct-lending program. If you're a Native American veteran (or a veteran married to one) buying or building on federal trust land, this is often the strongest financing option in the country.
- Loan issued directly by the VA (not a bank)
- Available on federal trust land
- $0 down, no PMI, competitive fixed rate
- Also usable to improve or refinance
VA Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM)
Roll energy-saving upgrades into your VA loan.
The VA EEM lets you finance qualifying energy-efficiency improvements directly into your VA purchase or refinance — cutting your utility bill without touching your down-payment or savings.
- Add up to $6,000 in EEM improvements
- Solar, insulation, HVAC, storm windows
- No re-qualifying for the extra amount
- Stackable with purchase or IRRRL
