HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE
FOR A VA LOAN
![Page 3: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Veteran’s benefits are one of the ways in which we are
able to show veterans our appreciation of their service
to the country.
![Page 4: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
One key benefit is the VA-guaranteed home loan.
If you’ve wondered how to get a VA loan, here are a
few basics you need to know.
![Page 5: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
ELIGIBILITY
![Page 6: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
If qualified, loans can be used to
purchase a condominium or house,
improve a home, build a house, or
buy a manufactured home and/or lot.
![Page 7: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The home must be for
personal occupancy.
![Page 8: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
To proceed with the process you
must obtain a Certificate of Eligibility
(COE) that verifies to the lender that
your discharge conditions and
service requirements authorize you
for VA backing.
![Page 9: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A mortgage broker or lender that
specializes in this type of mortgage
lending can help you verify personal
eligibility and apply for the COE.
![Page 10: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
CREDIT
![Page 11: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Generally a VA-guaranteed mortgage is a real plus because:
It guarantees repayment to the lender of at least a
portion of the loan
Thereby allowing the lender to be a bit more
relaxed about credit and credit score criteria.
![Page 12: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
It is a good idea to familiarize yourself
with your FICO score and credit report
prior to approaching a lender.
![Page 13: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
If your score is negatively impacted by
issues such as unpaid collection items,
past dues and so forth, you may want
to pay off or pay current so that your
score will improve.
![Page 14: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
It is important to demonstrate to
potential lenders that you are reliable
about paying debt obligations.
![Page 15: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Lenders also want to know if you have
the cash flow availability to pay the
mortgage note.
![Page 17: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This is known as debt-to-income
ratio. Review your debt structure
and determine what percentage of
the household income is committed
to set monthly bills…
![Page 18: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
… and how much is discretionary
income. The more discretionary
income you have, the better.

Generally if the appraisal value of
the home is the same as or more
than the sales price …
![Page 21: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
… you may not be required to
make a down payment, or can
pay less than the lenders
normal requirement.
![Page 22: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
You do not have to be a first-
time buyer, and the benefit can
be reused.
![Page 23: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Other qualified veterans may be able
to assume your loan in the future.
![Page 24: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
EMPLOYMENT
![Page 25: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A potential lender wants to know that you have an
adequate and reliable income flow to be able to
make house payments for the life of the loan.
![Page 26: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
It is safe to assume that your
employment, including length of
employment, will be verified.
![Page 27: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Two years of steady employment is
desirable, and if it is with the same
employer, even better.
![Page 28: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
There are always exceptions to the
rule so don’t despair if you cannot
meet this burden.
![Page 29: How to determine if you are eligible for a va loan](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051501/579076331a28ab6874b8237b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Be prepared to explain why the exception, and to
offer some type of evidence as to the
dependability of future cash flow streams.

Once you have worked with
your real estate professional to
find a home, negotiated an
acceptable price …

Once these processes are
completed a closing date will
be set so the property can be
