Who is eligible for a Utah VA loan?

Active-duty service members, veterans with qualifying service, members of the National Guard and Reserves who meet service requirements, and certain surviving spouses. Your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) confirms it — Tres can pull yours for free.

Do I really get 0% down?

Yes. For most eligible Utah veterans buying a primary residence within their entitlement, the VA loan requires no down payment and no private mortgage insurance (PMI).

What is the VA funding fee?

A one-time fee paid to the VA (financed into the loan in most cases). The fee varies by down payment, first or subsequent use, and service category. Veterans receiving service-connected disability compensation are exempt.

Can I use a VA loan more than once?

Yes. Entitlement can be restored once a prior VA loan is paid off, and remaining entitlement can be used for a second simultaneous VA loan in many cases.

Is there a Utah VA loan limit?

Veterans with full entitlement have no loan limit — you can borrow as much as the lender (and the appraisal) supports. Limits apply only to veterans with reduced entitlement.

Does Utah have any state-specific VA benefits?

Utah veterans can stack federal VA loan benefits with Utah Housing Corporation programs in certain scenarios, plus property-tax abatements for disabled veterans. Tres walks you through what stacks.

Hill Air Force Base — what should buyers know?

Davis and Weber County see heavy active-duty PCS activity. Tres works frequently with Hill AFB buyers and sellers — expect tight inspection timelines, BAH-aligned payment targets, and seller-paid closing-cost strategies.
