San Francisco VA Home Loans: What Makes VA Different

VA financing is built for primary residences and designed to lower the barriers to homeownership. In San Francisco, that often means focusing on the total file — income stability, residual income, payment history, and compensating factors — not just a number.

Zero down options (with qualifying entitlement)

No monthly PMI (major monthly savings)

Flexible underwriting (manual strategy when allowed)
