USAA specializes in VA loans, which makes sense since many USAA members qualify for these types of loans. Veterans and active duty military members can get a VA home loan with no down payment and no private mortgage insurance. They can also refinance their current VA mortgage to help reduce their interest rate, shorten their term or get cash out from the equity of the home. USAA offers online pre-approval for loans and is available in all 50 states.
You must be a USAA member in order to apply for a loan. Only current military members and veterans plus their spouses and children qualify for membership. USAA does not offer FHA or USDA loans. However, USAA has other low down payment options starting at 3% down such as the Conventional 97 and HomeReady® as well as regular Conventional starting at 5% down as an option for members who may not be eligible for a VA loan
You must be a USAA member in order to be pre-approved or apply for a loan. If you’re a veteran, an active duty service member, or a spouse or child of a veteran or active duty service member, you can apply for membership online.
Once your USAA membership is approved, you can create a USAA online account and apply for a loan pre-approval. This process only takes a few minutes and involves telling USAA about the home you’re looking to buy. USAA runs a credit check, which can impact your credit score, and issues a pre-approval letter that you can use when house shopping.
Once you’re ready to complete your loan application, you can speak with your dedicated USAA loan officer over the phone. You will then be asked to provide proof of income, bank statements, plus other needed documentation such as a Certificate of Eligibility from the Department of Veterans Affairs when applying for a VA loan.
