In order to move from a conventional mortgage to a VA mortgage you would have to refinance. In most cases when changing from one program to another, changing loan term, etc, a refinance is necessary, though you can often refinance with very few out of pocket expenses.

Of course to obtain a VA loan you will need to meet the requirements such as a being an eligible veteran or active duty member of the US Military, having a certain credit score, and being able to qualify based on your current income and the amount of your other debts.

Provides predictable monthly payments, making budgeting easier for borrowers. Can be conventional or government-backed (FHA, VA, USDA). Conventional Loan: A conventional loan is a non-government-backed mortgage, meaning it is not insured by FHA, VA, or USDA. Can have a fixed or adjustable interest rate. Typically requires a higher credit score and larger down payment than government-backed loans. Subject to loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Do VA loans require Mortgage Insurance Premiums?

VA loans do not require Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP), which is a significant advantage over conventional loans. Instead, VA loans charge a one-time funding fee, which can be financed into the loan amount. This funding fee varies based on factors such as the borrower's military service and down payment amount. Overall, this makes VA loans a more cost-effective option for eligible veterans and active-duty service members.
