At a prime 700 score, VA gives you excellent rates on top of zero down and no monthly insurance. Hard to beat.

A 700 credit score earns prime VA pricing. Combine an excellent rate with the VA structure — zero down, no monthly mortgage insurance — and you have one of the strongest mortgages available to anyone. For an eligible Florida veteran at 700, this is about as good as home financing gets.
Among the Best Loans Available
At 700 your VA rate is excellent, and the program already removes the two biggest costs other buyers face: the down payment and monthly insurance. The result is a low payment relative to almost any alternative.
There is little to optimize beyond structure here. The one-time funding fee is the main remaining cost, and it can be financed or may be waived if you have a service-connected disability.
