Your path to homeownership: VA loans for veterans and service members.

The VA home loan process can feel overwhelming, but your service has earned you a powerful home loan benefit. At Directions Home Loan, our specialists make it simple and stress-free to use your VA loan benefits, guiding you every step of the way to your new home.

Secure your home with a $0 down payment and no monthly PMI.

You’ve served our country. Buying a home shouldn’t be another battle.

We get it. The idea of buying a home can be daunting

If you’re worried about not having enough saved for a down payment or your credit isn’t perfect, you’re not alone. For many veterans and active-duty service members, these are the biggest hurdles to the home-buying journey.

The thought of navigating government paperwork and a complex mortgage process can also be enough to stop you from even starting. For military families on the move with a PCS, the logistics of securing a new home quickly adds another layer of stress to an already difficult transition. It’s a challenge you shouldn’t have to face on your own.

The VA home loan is not a handout but a benefit you’ve earned.

The VA-backed home loan is a benefit recognizing your military service. It makes homeownership more accessible and affordable by guaranteeing a portion of the loan, helping veterans secure a mortgage more easily.

As a US veteran, you’re entitled to these VA loan benefits:

These benefits make homeownership easier. We handle the details so you can access them with confidence and also provide guidance on other housing programs.

Experience a stress-free process from paperwork to front door.

Feeling overwhelmed by the paperwork and steps? That’s what we’re here for. We’ve streamlined the VA loan process, with our team guiding you at every turn.

Step 01.

Check eligibility and get preapproved

First, we’ll help you secure your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the VA. This is a crucial step to confirm you meet the eligibility requirements for your VA home loan benefit. Then, we’ll get you preapproved. This shows sellers you’re a serious buyer and gives you a clear budget to shop with.

Step 02.

Find your perfect home

With your preapproval letter in hand, you can confidently work with a real estate agent to find the home that’s right for you and your family. You’ll know exactly what loan amount you can afford for your personal occupancy.

Step 03.

We handle the details for a smooth closing

Once you find your home, our dedicated team works tirelessly behind the scenes. We coordinate with appraisers, underwriters, and title companies to ensure a seamless closing and that everything meets VA standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for a VA Home loan?

Generally, eligibility for VA home loans is for active-duty service members, veterans who meet service-length requirements (including those with active service in the Air Force or National Guard), and certain eligible surviving spouses. This includes eligible Native American veterans who may qualify for the VA direct loan program for homes on federal trust land. We can help you quickly determine your eligibility and obtain your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) or confirm you have a valid certificate.

What is the minimum credit score for a VA loan?

While the VA itself has no set minimum, most mortgage companies and VA lenders look for scores of 620+. However, because of our specialized expertise, we can often work with lower credit scores. Don’t let credit anxiety stop you — let’s talk about your situation.

Can I use my VA loan benefit more than once?

Absolutely. This is a lifetime home loan benefit. You can have your full entitlement restored after you’ve paid off a previous VA loan. Many service members use their loan benefits multiple times for new home purchases during their careers and into retirement. Even if you have an active VA loan, you may still have remaining entitlement.

What is the difference between a VA purchase loan and an IRRRL?

A purchase loan is used to buy a home. An IRRRL, or Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan, is used to refinance an existing VA loan to get a lower interest rate and reduce your monthly payments. We can help you decide which loan type is right for you.

What is the VA funding fee?

The funding fee is a one-time fee paid to the VA that helps to offset the costs of the VA loan program for taxpayers. It’s typically financed into the loan, but it can be waived for veterans with a service-connected disability or for eligible surviving spouses. You can find more information on the official dot gov websites for housing-related programs.

How are you different from a big online lender or my bank?

We are VA loan specialists — this is what we do all day, every day. Unlike a call center or a bank that treats VA home loans as just another product, we are dedicated experts who understand the unique needs of service members. This means you get personal service, specialized knowledge, and a team that truly cares. We help you achieve your own personal occupancy goals under the US Flag.
