A loan option for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and their families, guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

How VA Loans work in El Paso

VA loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, a benefit earned through service.

They carry no monthly mortgage insurance, and eligibility is confirmed with a Certificate of Eligibility, which we can help you obtain.

We guide you through the VA appraisal and funding fee, and compare VA against your other options so you know you're using the benefit well.

VA loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible veterans, service members and some surviving spouses buying or refinancing a home in El Paso.

With full entitlement, VA does not cap the loan amount. The county figure, $832,750 in El Paso County for 2026, comes into play when part of your entitlement is still in use on another VA loan.

The home must be your primary residence.

Every borrower’s situation is different, so the right next step is a conversation about your income, savings and timeline.

Who can get a VA loan in El Paso?

Eligibility depends on your service. We start by requesting your Certificate of Eligibility, which confirms it.

Can I use my VA benefit more than once?

Yes. Entitlement can be restored after a VA loan is paid off, and in some cases used alongside an existing VA loan. We review your situation before you shop.

Can I refinance with a VA loan?

Yes. An Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) streamlines refinancing an existing VA loan, and a VA cash-out refinance can reach your equity or move a non-VA loan into VA.

  • Eligible veterans and active-duty service members
