Introduction

Did you know 90% of VA home loans require $0 down? At Salvation Financial, we’ve walked alongside veterans like you for decades, turning “impossible” into “welcome home.” Maybe you’re tired of hearing “20% down or bust,” or you’re wary of hidden fees. That’s where VA loans shine—a benefit you’ve earned, designed to honor your service.

As our founder Abiola Majekodunmi says, “Your service deserves a ‘yes.’” And we’ve made it our mission to deliver that “yes” to hundreds of veterans. In this guide, we’ll cut through the red tape and explain VA loans in plain English—because you’ve already navigated enough challenges. Let’s turn your sacrifice into a sanctuary.

What Are VA Home Loans?

VA home loans are more than mortgages—they’re a thank-you from the nation you served. Backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, these loans are exclusive to veterans, active-duty service members, and eligible spouses.

Why They’re Unique:

• $0 Down Payment: Keep your savings for emergencies, renovations, or that first grill for the backyard.
• No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Save hundreds monthly compared to conventional loans.
• Lifetime Benefit: Use your entitlement multiple times—perfect for growing families or relocations.

How Salvation Financial Simplifies It:
Banks drown you in forms; we streamline them. Think of us as your squad leader—we’ll map the route, carry the gear, and get you to closing day with clarity.

Top Benefits of VA Home Loans

Why do veterans call VA loans their “secret weapon”? Let’s break it down:

✔ $0 Down Payment
Your service already paid the “down payment” in sacrifice. With no upfront costs, you can buy a home while keeping your savings intact.

✔ No PMI, Ever
Unlike conventional loans, VA loans skip private mortgage insurance—saving you 

100−

100−300/month.

✔ Flexible Credit Requirements
Credit score took a hit during deployment? We’ve secured approvals for scores as low as 620.

✔ Assumable Loans
If rates rise, future buyers can take over your loan at your original rate—a golden perk in volatile markets.

Why We Advocate for Them:
These loans align with our core value: integrity. You deserve solutions that put you first, not profits.

VA Loan Eligibility Requirements

Let’s decode the basics. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Service Criteria:
  • Active-Duty: 90+ consecutive days of service.
  • Veterans: Honorable discharge.
  • National Guard/Reserves: 6+ years of service.
  • Surviving Spouses: Of fallen service members (with eligibility documentation).
• Credit & Income: Stable income and a 620+ credit score (we’ll help if yours is close).
• Certificate of Eligibility (COE): Proof of your VA benefit. Don’t have it? We’ll request it for you.

How We Help:
Confused about reserve time requirements? We’ll clarify them. Denied elsewhere? We’ll find a path forward.

Pros and Cons of VA Loans

Let’s weigh the trade-offs—transparently:

Pros

• $0 down payment
• No PMI
• Lower closing costs (sellers can cover up to 4% of fees).
• Assumable loans = future selling power.

Cons

• Funding Fee: 1.4%-3.6% of the loan (waived for disabled veterans).
• Loan Limits: Vary by county—we’ll explain yours over coffee (or Zoom).

Our Take:
The funding fee? We’ll show you how to reduce or eliminate it. Loan limits? We’ve navigated jumbo loans for clients in high-cost areas like NYC.
