What Is a VA Loan?
A VA loan is a mortgage guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that lets eligible Arizona veterans, active-duty service members, and qualifying surviving spouses buy a home with $0 down, no monthly mortgage insurance, and competitive rates. Because the VA backs the loan, lenders can offer terms no conventional program matches — and the benefit is reusable throughout your life.

The VA funding fee, explained
VA loans carry a one-time funding fee — roughly 1.25% to 3.3% of the loan amount depending on your down payment and whether you've used the benefit before. We check your exemption status up front and show the true cost comparison against FHA and conventional options — for most eligible veterans, VA wins, but you deserve to see the numbers.
It Can Be Rolled Into the Loan
The funding fee doesn't have to add to your cash to close — it can be financed into the loan amount.
Many Veterans Are Exempt
Veterans receiving VA disability compensation, eligible surviving spouses, and Purple Heart recipients on active duty are typically exempt — making the VA loan's cost advantage even bigger.
VA works there too

Arizona VA loan FAQs
Do VA loans in Arizona really require no down payment?
Yes — eligible borrowers with full entitlement can buy with $0 down and no monthly private mortgage insurance. A one-time funding fee applies unless you're exempt, and it can be rolled into the loan.
Is there a maximum VA loan amount in Arizona?
Full-entitlement borrowers no longer face VA county loan limits — your qualifying income, credit, and residual income drive the loan size. Partial entitlement (an existing VA loan still open) may involve limits; we calculate yours at pre-qualification.
Can I use a VA loan more than once?
Yes. Entitlement is reusable after selling and paying off a VA loan, and in many PCS situations you can hold two VA loans at once — common for families moving to or from Luke AFB and Davis-Monthan.
What credit score do I need?
The VA sets no minimum; lenders typically look for roughly 580–620+. We compare multiple lenders' overlays, so a decline at one is often an approval at another.
What is the VA funding fee and can it be waived?
A one-time charge of roughly 1.25%–3.3% depending on down payment and prior use, financeable into the loan. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation, eligible surviving spouses, and Purple Heart recipients on active duty are typically exempt.
