Military & Veterans
You served. Your home loan should serve you.
If you are a veteran or active-duty service member, the VA home loan is one of the most powerful paths into homeownership in Arizona. Here is what it can do for you, and how I help you use it.
VA loan benefits
What a VA loan can do for you
These are the core benefits of the VA-backed home loan program. Program details can change, so we confirm the current rules with your lender before you plan around any of them.
No down payment
Qualified veterans can buy a home with no down payment, as long as the sales price is not higher than the appraised value.
No PMI
VA loans do not require private mortgage insurance, which keeps your monthly payment lower than many conventional loans.
Competitive rates
VA loans typically come with competitive interest rates and better terms than many conventional options.
A lifetime, reusable benefit
The VA loan benefit is not a one-time thing. You can use it again, and it is not limited to first-time buyers.
Closing cost limits
VA rules limit the closing costs you can be charged, protecting you from surprise fees.
Help when times are hard
The VA offers assistance to avoid foreclosure, plus refinance options like the IRRRL streamline refinance.
Your path
Four steps to a VA-backed home
Get your Certificate of Eligibility
Your lender helps you obtain your VA Certificate of Eligibility. It is the first step and usually straightforward.
Get pre-approved
We connect you with a lender experienced in VA loans, so you know your budget and your rate before you shop.
Find the right home
From Glendale, home to Luke Air Force Base, to the rest of the metro, we target homes that fit your life and your benefits.
Close with confidence
I walk you through the VA appraisal and inspection steps, then get you to closing without surprises.
Good to know: the VA funding fee may be waived for veterans receiving VA disability compensation and for active-duty Purple Heart recipients. Your lender confirms your specific situation.
