Military buyers considering a VA loan
If you're buying near Fort Campbell and weighing a VA loan, here's a plain-language starting point. This is general education only — not financial advice. For loan specifics, talk to a VA-approved lender.
What a VA loan is
A VA loan is a home loan backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA doesn't lend the money — a private VA-approved lender does — but the VA's backing is what makes the loan available and, for many buyers, more favorable than a conventional loan. This section is general education only, not financial advice.
Who may qualify
Eligibility depends on your service history — how long you served, whether you were active duty or in the Guard or Reserve, and your discharge status. Spouses of certain service members may also qualify. A VA-approved lender confirms your eligibility and helps you obtain your Certificate of Eligibility (COE). We're real estate agents, not lenders, so we refer you to a lender for this part.
How the process works
In general: you get pre-qualified with a VA-approved lender, you find a home and make an offer, the lender orders a VA appraisal (which checks the home meets the VA's minimum property requirements), and you close. The appraisal is part of what makes a VA loan different from a conventional loan. Your lender walks you through the specifics; we handle the real estate.
Where we fit in
We help you find the home and negotiate the purchase — on either side of the Tennessee–Kentucky line, because we're licensed in both states. For the loan itself — eligibility, rates, terms, and your funding fee — we refer you to a VA-approved lender. We're glad to point you toward one and then help you find the house once your loan is in motion.
A note on scope: We're real estate agents, not lenders. For loan eligibility, rates, terms, and your funding fee, please talk to a VA-approved lender. We're happy to help you find the home once your loan is in motion.
