Earned Benefits. Zero Down.

    VA Home Loans in Miami

    A VA loan can help eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and qualifying surviving spouses buy a Miami primary residence with no down payment on eligible purchases and no private mortgage insurance. Quest Mortgage Services checks your Certificate of Eligibility, entitlement, income, and property. Closing costs and a VA funding fee may still apply unless exempt.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I really need $0 down for a VA loan?

    +

    Yes — with full entitlement, the VA has no loan limit, so eligible veterans can finance 100% of the purchase price at any amount a lender will approve. Veterans with partial entitlement are capped by the 2026 conforming loan limit for Miami-Dade — $832,750, set by FHFA: https://www.fhfa.gov/news/news-release/fhfa-announces-conforming-loan-limit-values-for-2026 — and can still buy above that with a down payment on the amount over the limit.

    What is the VA funding fee?

    +

    The VA funding fee is a one-time charge (typically 2.15% for first-time use with $0 down) that goes back into the program. It can be rolled into the loan, and veterans receiving service-connected disability compensation are exempt. Current official rate table: https://www.va.gov/housing-assistance/home-loans/funding-fee-and-closing-costs/

    Can I use a VA loan more than once?

    +

    Yes. Your VA entitlement can be restored after paying off a previous VA loan, or you can use remaining entitlement on a second property in some cases. We help you map this out.

    Will my VA loan cover a Miami condo?

    +

    Yes, if the condo is on the VA-approved list. Many Miami buildings are already approved — we verify before you write an offer and can request approval for buildings that aren't yet on the list.

    How long does a VA loan take to close in Miami?

    +

    Most VA loans close in 30–40 days. We coordinate the VA appraisal early to keep your timeline on track.
