Do VA loans require a down payment in Alabama?

Eligible VA borrowers can often finance a qualifying primary-home purchase without a down payment, subject to entitlement, appraisal, underwriting, and the purchase price. A funding fee may apply unless an exemption is confirmed. Closing costs and reserves are separate considerations, so zero down does not always mean zero cash needed.
