Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake and Portsmouth function as one housing market fed by sea duty rotations. Sellers here see VA contracts constantly, which cuts both ways: nobody is scared of the loan type, but everyone knows which lenders drag past the contract date. Sea-duty timelines and power-of-attorney closings are routine for us.

Virginia Beach & Norfolk VA Loan Limits in 2026
No VA loan limit in Hampton Roads with full entitlement. The 2026 baseline conforming figure of $832,750 only applies when entitlement is reduced by an existing VA loan.
Zero Down, No PMI
VA is the only widely available true 100% financing left, and it never carries monthly mortgage insurance. That gap alone is usually worth several hundred dollars a month versus a low-down conventional loan.
500+ FICO Considered
Most retail banks stop at 620. We work wholesale investors that go down to a 500 FICO on VA, which matters after a deployment-era credit hit or an identity theft cleanup.
About 21 Days To Close
Our average VA purchase closes in roughly 21 days. That timeline is what makes a VA offer competitive against cash and conventional buyers in a tight market.
