VA loans don't require a down payment or private mortgage insurance, but approval still hinges on meeting the lender's credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and residual income requirements. A Certificate of Eligibility isn't enough; the property must pass a VA appraisal and meet minimum property standards. While the VA doesn't set a minimum credit score, most lenders look for 620 or higher. Steady employment history and sufficient cash reserves also play a key role in getting the green light.
