VA loans require a minimum 640 representative credit score for a primary residence. Your total debt-to-income ratio cannot exceed 45 percent, meaning a $750,000 purchase at this rate needs roughly $12,247 in monthly income to qualify.
Zero down is the standard on VA loans. You pay a funding fee instead of mortgage insurance—that fee replaces what conventional borrowers carry as PMI, and it's rolled into your loan amount.

VA loans make sense in Davis when you're a qualified veteran or active-duty service member and you want to avoid a down payment. The $854,071 median price sits above the conforming limit.
At zero down and 5.99%, the VA product here is simpler than putting money down and managing PMI. If you have the income to carry the payment, the VA path is the faster one.
05
A conventional loan at this price would sit in jumbo territory, requiring tighter credit, more reserves, and a higher down payment. VA loans skip those overlays because the VA guarantee backs the lender.
Conventional jumbo rates run higher than VA, and you'd carry mortgage insurance until you hit 20 percent equity. With VA, zero down means no insurance at all—just the funding fee, which is a one-time cost.
