First Equity Home Loan, Inc. is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. All financing is subject to eligibility and underwriting approval.
Start with your monthly income and existing debts. Adjust the assumptions to see an illustrative payment and loan amount. VA approval also depends on residual income, credit, entitlement, and other factors.
This is a DTI-based mathematical illustration, not a preapproval, eligibility determination, or guaranteed home price. It does not calculate VA residual-income requirements, funding fees, available entitlement, closing costs, or location-specific qualification. Interest rate is hypothetical.
Already have your COE? Excellent. If not, you can request it through the Department of Veterans Affairs, or First Equity can help you through the lender process. You do not need to wait for a COE before asking us questions.

Ask First Equity for HelpVA-backed financing may allow eligible borrowers to purchase with no down payment and no monthly VA mortgage insurance, subject to lender requirements, entitlement, property eligibility, and appraisal considerations.
Explore VA purchase financing, estimated monthly costs, seller-paid expenses, and the cash you may need at closing.
We serve military families relocating to Huntsville, Montgomery, Mobile, Baldwin County, and communities throughout Alabama.
VA home loan benefits may be reusable. Remaining entitlement and prior VA loans can affect your options.
A VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) may help eligible borrowers refinance an existing VA-backed mortgage. VA generally does not require a new appraisal or credit underwriting package for an IRRRL, although lenders may impose additional requirements.
Not ready to refinance? Track your target rate, review your property's estimated value, and speak with First Equity when the numbers make sense.
An IRRRL is not a cash-out loan. Appraisal, credit, occupancy, seasoning, funding-fee, and other requirements vary by transaction and lender. No appraisal waiver or approval is guaranteed.
Eligible veterans may be able to refinance a VA or non-VA mortgage using a VA cash-out refinance. Explore debt consolidation, major expenses, or other financial goals while comparing costs, payments, and long-term equity impact.
This is an equity illustration, not an available cash-out quote. Actual VA and lender limits, appraisal, funding fees, closing costs, eligibility, and underwriting can reduce or eliminate proceeds. The 100% selection is not a promise of 100% financing.
Borrowers with full VA entitlement generally are not subject to a VA-imposed loan limit, but loan approval still depends on income, credit, property value, lender requirements, and affordability. Borrowers with remaining or partial entitlement may face different down-payment calculations.
Explore larger VA purchase loans for eligible borrowers, including qualified military families relocating to higher-priced markets.
Prior VA financing does not necessarily prevent another VA loan. We can review your COE, existing entitlement, and current financing needs.
Eligible borrowers with sufficient entitlement may be able to buy with no down payment, subject to lender requirements and property eligibility. Closing costs and other expenses may still apply.
VA-backed loans generally do not require monthly mortgage insurance. A one-time VA funding fee may apply unless the borrower qualifies for an exemption.
Yes. You may request your COE through VA directly or ask our lending team to help through the lender process.
VA generally does not require an appraisal for an IRRRL. Individual lenders may have additional requirements, so the exact process must be confirmed.
Potentially. Qualified borrowers may be able to refinance an existing non-VA mortgage into a VA-backed cash-out refinance, subject to eligibility, underwriting, appraisal, and other requirements.
Often, yes. Your entitlement and any outstanding VA loans help determine your available options.
Potentially. Full entitlement generally means no VA-imposed loan limit, but lenders still assess the borrower's ability to repay and the property's value.
