VA loans are guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible service members and veterans: 0% down, no monthly mortgage insurance. A one-time funding fee (2.30% first use at 0% down, or 0% if you're exempt for VA disability) replaces PMI. With full entitlement there's no loan-limit cap.
