Who may qualify
For eligible military families
The 2% credit, up to $21,000, is for eligible VA borrowers who also meet applicable program and lender requirements.

- Eligible VA financing, borrower status, and credit amount are reviewed by the licensed lending partner.
- Credit availability depends on qualifying eligible homeownership costs and program guidelines.
- Availability and terms may vary by property, loan type, area, and current program requirements.
