What you need

  • Military service or veteran
  • Certificate of Eligibility

Before you sign

  • Zero down still leaves closing costs, often 2% to 5% of the price; a seller credit can cover some of them.
  • Compare the APR and any funding or origination fee, not just the rate.
  • Keep savings for repairs, since you start with little equity.

Offers change often and vary by credit and region. Confirm the final terms with U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs.
