What Your VA Loan Benefit Actually Provides

Your VA home loan benefit is one of the best financial benefits the military offers. Here's what it means for you:

No Down Payment

Buy a home with zero down. You don't need savings for a down payment—your VA benefit covers it.

No PMI

Private mortgage insurance is not required. You save hundreds per month compared to conventional loans.

Competitive Rates

VA loans typically have some of the lowest interest rates available. Your rate is based on market conditions and your credit, not a government-set rate.

Multiple Uses

You can use your VA benefit more than once. Buy again, and you're eligible again—as long as you have remaining entitlement.

Seller Pays Costs

VA regulations require sellers to pay certain buyer closing costs. This saves you thousands at the closing table.

Appraisal Assurance

VA appraisals ensure the home meets safety and quality standards. The VA protects you from overpaying for a problem property.

VA Loan Myths — Busted

There's a lot of misinformation about VA loans. Parris sets the record straight:

MYTH: Sellers Don't Like VA Loans

FALSE. Sellers know VA loans are backed by the government and the buyer is serious. In competitive markets, a VA buyer with pre-approval can beat conventional offers. Parris positions your offer to win.

MYTH: VA Loans Take Forever to Close

FALSE. VA loans close in 30–45 days, just like conventional loans. Parris has relationships with VA-savvy lenders who move fast and understand military timelines.

MYTH: You Can Only Use a VA Loan Once

FALSE. You can use your VA benefit multiple times throughout your life. As long as you have remaining entitlement (or pay off the previous VA loan), you're eligible to use it again.

TRUTH: VA Loans Are Highly Competitive

Your VA loan benefit is one of the strongest financial advantages available. No down payment, no PMI, competitive rates, and VA protection—this is powerful. Parris helps you leverage it.

TRUTH: VA Appraisals Protect You

VA appraisals are more thorough and strict. The VA wants to ensure the home is worth the price and meets safety standards. This protects you from overpaying or buying a problem property.

Military & VA Loan FAQ

What is a VA home loan?
A VA home loan is a mortgage benefit provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to eligible service members, veterans, and military families. It allows you to buy a home with no down payment, no private mortgage insurance (PMI), and competitive interest rates. The VA doesn't lend the money—instead, it guarantees a portion of the loan, which allows lenders to offer better terms.
Who qualifies for a VA loan?
Active duty service members (all branches), veterans, National Guard members, Reservists, and qualifying surviving spouses of service members are eligible for VA loans. You'll need to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the VA, which shows your eligibility. Parris will guide you through the process.
Can I use my VA loan benefit more than once?
Yes. This is one of the biggest myths about VA loans. You can use your VA benefit multiple times throughout your life, as long as you either pay off the previous VA loan or have sufficient remaining entitlement. Many military families use it again when they relocate or upgrade homes.
Do sellers have to pay closing costs for VA buyers?
Yes. VA regulations require sellers to pay certain buyer closing costs and prepaid expenses (property taxes, insurance, HOA fees, etc.). This is a significant advantage—you're not responsible for these costs. Parris ensures these terms are included in your purchase agreement.
What is the VA funding fee?
The VA funding fee is a one-time charge (typically 1.4–3.6% of the loan amount) that reimburses the VA for the cost of the loan program. Most VA borrowers can pay it upfront or roll it into the loan balance. If you've received a VA disability rating for a service-connected disability, you may be exempt from the fee. Parris will explain your options.
Is it hard to buy a home with a VA loan in California?
Not with Parris. While California has a competitive market, VA loans are recognized and welcomed. Sellers understand VA loans are backed by the government and the buyer is serious. Parris's experience and relationships help your offer stand out in competitive markets like Sacramento, Roseville, and Folsom.
What are homes for sale near Beale AFB?
Beale Air Force Base is located near Marysville, CA. The surrounding communities include Marysville, Yuba City, Lincoln, Rocklin, and Roseville. Parris specializes in helping military families find VA-loan-friendly homes near Beale AFB. She also helps with purchases in Sacramento, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, and other regional communities.
Can I use a VA loan to buy a home in Granite Bay or Roseville?
Absolutely. VA loans can be used to purchase homes anywhere in the country, including premium neighborhoods like Granite Bay and Roseville. Parris has helped VA buyers purchase homes across all price ranges in the Sacramento region, from starter homes to luxury estates.
What is a PCS move and how does it affect buying a home?
PCS (Permanent Change of Station) is a military reassignment to a new base or location. It can affect your timeline, budget, and location. Parris specializes in helping military families buy homes before a PCS move, handle long-distance purchases (you can even buy sight-unseen with video tours), and manage quick closing timelines that fit military schedules.
How do I get a Certificate of Eligibility for a VA loan?
You can apply for your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) through the VA website (va.gov) or eBenefits portal, or through your lender. The process is quick (usually 24–48 hours online). Parris can guide you through the process and help you gather the required documentation (discharge papers, DD-214, etc.).
What is the VA appraisal process?
VA appraisals are more stringent than conventional appraisals to protect borrowers. The VA appraiser verifies the home meets VA safety and quality standards (e.g., roof condition, plumbing, electrical systems). If issues are found, the seller must address them before closing. This protects you from overpaying for a problem property. Parris manages this process carefully.
Can I buy a home with a VA loan if I'm on active duty?
Yes. Active duty service members can absolutely use their VA loan benefit. Parris has extensive experience working with military families managing active duty schedules, PCS timelines, and even out-of-state purchases. She coordinates remote closings and understands military timelines.
