VA Loans in Arizona: Zero Down for Veterans and Active Military

If you have served, you have earned one of the strongest loan programs available, 0 percent down, no monthly mortgage insurance, and competitive terms. We make sure you use every bit of that benefit.

What is a VA loan?

A VA loan is a mortgage backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that lets eligible veterans and active-duty service members buy a home with 0 percent down and no monthly mortgage insurance. It is one of the most valuable benefits of military service.

Because the VA guarantees part of the loan, lenders can offer better terms than most buyers can get anywhere else. For many Arizona veterans, that means a lower monthly payment and no down payment hurdle.

VA loan FAQ

Do VA loans really require zero down?
Yes. Eligible borrowers can finance up to 100 percent of the purchase price, so no down payment is required in most cases.
Do VA loans have mortgage insurance?
No. There is no monthly mortgage insurance, which usually makes the payment lower than a comparable FHA or low-down conventional loan.
What is the VA funding fee?
A one-time fee that sustains the program. It can be rolled into the loan and is waived for veterans receiving VA disability compensation.
How do I prove eligibility?
You will need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE), which we can help you request as part of your application.
Can I use my benefit more than once?
Yes. The benefit can be reused, and in some cases you can have more than one VA loan at a time depending on remaining entitlement.
