Frequently Asked Questions

Know Your Entitlement Before You Shop

Entitlement is the VA’s guaranty behind your loan — not a cash grant. Full, partial, and bonus entitlement decide whether you can buy with $0 down and how large the loan can be.

Your COE and prior loan history place you in one of these buckets.

Keeping a VA loan on a prior home — or not restoring after a sale — can shrink remaining guaranty. That is when $0 down may no longer cover the full purchase.

Entitlement is only one line on a VA pre-approval.

Same VA benefit — different cash and loan-size outcomes.
