Question 1

Can I use a VA loan to buy in Benicia with no money down?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Eligible veterans can purchase in Benicia with zero down. You'll still need funds for closing costs unless the seller agrees to cover them.

Question 2

Do Benicia sellers accept VA offers?

Accepted Answer

Most do. Seller hesitation around VA loans has dropped significantly. A strong pre-approval and clean offer terms matter far more than loan type.

Question 3

What is the VA funding fee?

Accepted Answer

It's a one-time fee charged by the VA — typically 2.15% for first use. It can be rolled into your loan. Disabled veterans may be exempt.

Question 4

Is there a loan limit for VA loans in Solano County?

Accepted Answer

Veterans with full entitlement have no VA loan limit. Borrowers with reduced entitlement may face limits based on county guidelines.

Question 5

How long does VA loan approval take in Benicia?

Accepted Answer

A well-prepared VA file typically closes in 30-45 days. Delays usually come from missing documents or appraisal scheduling — not the VA itself.

Question 6

Can I use my VA benefit more than once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. VA entitlement can be restored after a prior loan is paid off or the property is sold. Some veterans carry two VA loans simultaneously.
