Build new with a one-time close
VA one-time-close construction loans fund land, construction, and the permanent mortgage in a single closing — often $0 down with full entitlement. You'll need a licensed builder (you can't be your own GC) and a fixed-price contract. If no construction lender fits, build with interim financing and refinance into a VA loan at completion.
Already have a VA loan? The IRRRL is your fast lane
The VA's Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) lets you drop your rate with usually no appraisal, limited paperwork, and a reduced 0.5% funding fee. You'll need 210 days and six payments on your current loan, and your costs must recoup through savings within 36 months — a built-in protection that keeps the refinance honest.
Credit matters less than you think
The VA sets no hard minimum credit score. Lenders often look for around 620, but the program's residual-income test — money left over after your bills — is generous, which is why many veterans qualify when conventional lenders say no.
