Loan structure offers no down payment

VA loans require zero down payment for eligible borrowers. They carry lower interest rates than conventional options. Private mortgage insurance is not required for these loans.

Rocket Mortgage requires a 620 score for conventional loans. VA loans through these providers maintain the zero-down feature. Borrowers should compare specific terms before applying.
