Frequently Asked Questions About VA Mortgage Basics
Can I get a VA loan in a state other than Colorado Springs?
Yes—you can use your VA benefit to buy or refinance a home in any of the 49 states in which we’re licensed, excluding New York.
Is there a minimum credit score for VA loans?
No. We offer VA loans regardless of your credit score. Our manual underwriters will review your entire application, credit willing or not—if VA guidelines allow it, we can approve it.
What’s the difference between conventional and VA mortgage insurance?
VA loans do not require private mortgage insurance (PMI), which results in lower monthly payments compared to conventional loans with less than 20% down.
Can I refinance my current VA loan?
Yes. We offer the VA IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan) for existing VA loans. It’s streamlined, often with no appraisal or income documentation requirement.
