Do You Qualify For A VA Home Loan?

By Darrel Jefferson


When looking for a home loan, there are more options available to families than ever before. But what about a VA home loan? It doesn't matter if you're applying for a VA loan, VA refinancing or a VA streamline loan, these loans are designed to take the best care of veterans, active-duty service people and their families. But since loans frequently have difficult and somewhat obscure rules for who can qualify, some people feel intimidated by the process. Don't be. Here's some information that will help.

Even if you are living abroad and cannot see your family, you can ensure that they are living comfortably and safely by applying for a VA loan. While those not currently in the service may be worrying about how they will afford a house and whether or not they will be able to be approved for a loan or mortgage, you should not have to worry about that.

Applying for a VA loan is fairly simple. The whole process starts with talking to a lender about your options, and learning more about the program. After that, you can fill out the appropriate forms to send to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Once your qualifications have been ascertained, you're well on your way to qualifying for a new loan.

The benefits you get from a VA loan are far and away better than anything else you can find. These loans are applicable on buying homes or condominiums in a VA-approved projects or building a home. Not only that, but if you are simultaneously purchasing and improving a home, or improving it by installing energy-related features or making energy-efficient improvements, the loans are for you. Finally, the loans are also available to people who are buying a manufactured home and/or lot.

On the down side, FHA loans have higher mortgage insurance, and there are loan limits on the amount that can be applied for. Homes with an FHA loan must be owner-occupied, and they can sometimes take longer to process than standard loans, making you a less appealing candidate if multiple offers for the home are on the table.

There is a small fee involved in the VA loan that is a fraction of the amount that you would be paying if you were getting any other kind of loan. If you are receiving disability compensation the fee is waived entirely.

The whole point is to make it easier for veterans, service members and their families to be able to buy a home and keep it affordable.

If worse comes to worse and you cannot make a payment and are facing foreclosure, the Veterans Affairs can step in and negotiate with lenders to see to it that you are given a chance to pay back on a different payment plan. Veterans that are struggling financially will be given the chance they deserve for serving our nation.
