VA Loan Benefits
Maximize your VA
loan benefits
Zero Down Payment
VA loans require no down payment. On a $220,000 home, that saves you $7,700 compared to an FHA loan (3.5% down) or $11,000 compared to a conventional loan (5% down). Your VA benefit is one of the most powerful financial tools available — use it. Your ProGen broker coordinates directly with VA-experienced lenders to ensure a smooth closing.
No Private Mortgage Insurance
Unlike FHA and conventional loans under 20% down, VA loans do not require private mortgage insurance (PMI). This saves you $100 to $200 per month on a typical El Paso home — savings that accumulate to thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. Your monthly payment is lower from day one.
Competitive Interest Rates
VA loan interest rates are typically 0.25% to 0.50% lower than conventional loan rates because the VA guaranty reduces lender risk. On a $250,000 loan, that rate difference saves you $30 to $75 per month — roughly $10,000 to $25,000 over a 30-year loan term.
VA Funding Fee Can Be Financed
The VA funding fee (typically 2.15% for first-time use) can be rolled into the loan amount, so you do not need to pay it at closing. Service members with service-connected disabilities are exempt from the funding fee entirely. Your ProGen broker and lender will determine your exemption status upfront.
Commission-Free Buying with ProGen
When you buy through ProGen Real Estate, you pay zero buyer agent commission on top of your VA loan benefits. The combination of zero down payment, no PMI, competitive rates, and zero buyer commission means you can purchase a home near Fort Bliss with minimal out-of-pocket costs and maximum monthly savings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about buying
near Fort Bliss
Can I use my VA loan to buy a home near Fort Bliss?
Yes. VA loans are available for any eligible property in the El Paso area. There is no requirement to purchase within a certain distance of the base. Your ProGen broker will confirm that any property you are considering meets VA minimum property requirements (MPRs) before you submit an offer. Most homes listed on the MLS in good condition meet these requirements.
What if I get PCS orders after buying a home?
If you receive PCS orders, you have several options: sell the home (ProGen can list it for you), rent it out and keep it as an investment property, or apply for a VA loan assumption if your buyer qualifies. Many Fort Bliss buyers keep their El Paso homes as rental properties after PCS — the rent-to-price ratio in El Paso is strong enough to generate positive cash flow in most neighborhoods.
