Common questions

VA home loan FAQ

Can I use a VA loan more than once?

Often, yes. Eligibility depends on your remaining entitlement and whether prior VA-backed loans have been paid off or restored.

Does the VA set a minimum credit score?

The VA does not establish one universal minimum score, but lenders may apply their own credit standards and underwriting requirements.

Can sellers contribute toward closing costs?

VA guidelines permit certain seller-paid costs and concessions within program limits. The structure should be reviewed before writing the offer.

Can I refinance an existing VA loan?

Qualified homeowners may have VA refinance options, including an Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan or a VA cash-out refinance.
