What Is a VA Loan?

A Mortgage Option Backed by Gratitude and the VA

VA loans are government-backed mortgage programs designed for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses. These loans offer powerful benefits—like no down payment and no PMI—to make homeownership more attainable for those who have served our country.

Benefits of VA Loans

  • No down payment required

  • No private mortgage insurance (PMI)

  • Competitive interest rates

  • Flexible credit guidelines

  • Fewer closing costs

  • No penalty for early loan payoff

Understanding VA Loans in California Eligibility

Are You Eligible for a VA Loan?

To qualify, borrowers typically need to meet military service requirements and obtain a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). Whether you’re active duty, a veteran, reservist, or surviving spouse, CLG can walk you through the process with ease.

We believe those who serve deserve our highest level of service.

The Application Process

Getting Started Is Easier Than You Think

  1. Obtain your COE: We’ll help you request it quickly.

  2. Get pre-approved: Know what you can afford upfront.

  3. Find your home: We’ll work with your real estate agent.

  4. Finalize your loan: With no surprises along the way.

Common FAQs About VA Loans

Do VA Loans really require no down payment?

Yes. One of the biggest benefits of VA loans is that eligible borrowers can finance 100% of the home’s value with no down payment required, making homeownership more accessible.

Is private mortgage insurance (PMI) required on a VA loan?

No. VA loans do not require PMI, which helps veterans and service members keep their monthly mortgage payments lower than conventional loans.

Can I use a VA loan more than once?

Absolutely. As long as you have remaining VA loan entitlement, or restore it after selling or refinancing your previous VA-financed home, you can use the benefit again.

We believe California families deserve a trusted advisor who understands rural lending, not just generic mortgage advice.

CLG Tips: Make sure your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) is up to date and correct before starting the loan process—it’s the first step to faster approval.
