VA Loans in Rocklin
Rocklin draws military families from Travis Air Force Base and Beale AFB. The city's mix of new construction and established neighborhoods works well with VA financing.
Veterans buying here compete with conventional buyers but hold an edge with no down payment. Sellers in Rocklin accept VA offers when priced right.
Most Rocklin homes fall within VA county limits. Placer County's $766,550 conforming limit covers the majority of listings without hitting jumbo territory.
You need a Certificate of Eligibility and 580+ credit. Most lenders prefer 620 but we access programs at 580 for veterans with clean payment history.
No minimum income requirement exists. Lenders verify residual income after debts—roughly $1,200/month for a family of four in California.
The VA doesn't set a maximum DTI. We've closed loans at 55% when residual income checks out and compensating factors exist.
Active duty, veterans with 90+ days wartime or 181 days peacetime service qualify. Surviving spouses maintain eligibility unless remarried.
Not all lenders handle VA loans well. We work with 15+ VA-approved lenders who actually understand the program beyond basics.
Some credit unions low-ball rates but add weeks to closing. Our wholesale lenders match those rates and close in 21 days.
Overlays kill deals. Big banks often require 640 credit when VA allows 580. We find lenders at actual VA minimums.

FHA requires 3.5% down plus monthly mortgage insurance forever on Rocklin prices. VA charges no monthly MI and no money down.
Conventional at 5% down needs PMI until 20% equity. VA skips PMI entirely, saving $200-300 monthly on typical Rocklin homes.
Jumbo loans hit at $766,550 in Placer County. If shopping above that, VA jumbo still offers better rates than conventional jumbo.
USDA works in rural Placer pockets but not Rocklin proper. VA covers the whole city with zero down.
Rocklin's new builds in Whitney Ranch and Sunset West accept VA. Builders here understand the program and price competitively.
The VA appraisal checks wood-destroying pests and structural issues. Rocklin's older homes near downtown sometimes need minor pest repairs before closing.
