Georgia VA Loan Questions
Are the VA rates on this site real or teaser rates?
They are pulled live from our rate sheet each day for a standard $0 down Georgia VA scenario with no discount points. Run the two-minute quote to see the rate and closing costs for your own credit score, loan amount and county.
Do I really need $0 down for a VA loan in Georgia?
Yes. Eligible veterans, active-duty members, Guard and Reserve members and surviving spouses can finance 100% of the purchase price of a primary residence with no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance.
What credit score do I need for a VA loan?
The VA sets no minimum score. We price VA loans across a wide range of credit profiles, and our quote tool shows you exactly how your score affects your rate.
What is the VA funding fee and can it be waived?
The funding fee is a one-time VA charge that can be rolled into the loan. In 2026 it is 2.15% for a first-use $0 down purchase, 3.3% for subsequent use, and 0.5% for a streamline refinance. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation and many surviving spouses are exempt, and our quote tool asks so we can price it correctly.
What is a VA streamline refinance (IRRRL)?
IRRRL stands for Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan, the VA streamline refinance. If you already have a VA loan, a streamline lets you lower your rate with reduced paperwork, usually no appraisal, and a 0.5% funding fee.
Is there a VA loan limit in Georgia?
Not if you have full entitlement. Loan limits only apply with reduced entitlement, in which case the 2026 Georgia conforming limit of $832,750 comes into play.
