If you've served in the military, a VA loan is one of the most powerful financial benefits available to you. Here's everything you need to know.

## Who Qualifies?

VA loans are available to: - Veterans (varying service requirements) - Active-duty service members (90+ days continuous service) - National Guard/Reserve members (6+ years service) - Eligible surviving spouses

## Key Benefits

**Zero down payment** — This is the big one. Most buyers have to save for years to afford a down payment. VA loans require $0 down.

**No PMI** — Unlike conventional loans with less than 20% down, VA loans have no monthly mortgage insurance.

**Competitive rates** — VA loans typically offer rates 0.25-0.5% lower than conventional loans.

**Lifetime benefit** — You can use a VA loan multiple times throughout your life.
