Am I Eligible for a VA Loan?

Veterans America is proud to serve active and retired military personnel across the Midwest. We understand the unique challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian life, and achieving homeownership is a significant milestone. But with so many loan options available, a common question arises: Am I eligible for a VA loan?

The VA loan program, offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), is a fantastic benefit for veterans seeking to purchase or refinance a home. It offers significant advantages compared to traditional mortgages, including:

• Zero down payment: This can be a game-changer, especially in today's competitive housing market.
• Favorable interest rates: VA loans typically boast lower interest rates than conventional loans.
• Flexible credit requirements: The VA considers factors beyond just credit score, making it accessible to a wider range of veterans.
• No private mortgage insurance (PMI): This saves money on monthly payments.

So, who qualifies for a VA loan?

The VA has specific service requirements to ensure veterans have served their country honorably. Here's a quick breakdown:

• Active Duty Service: Generally, you need at least 90 days of active federal service during wartime, 181 days during peacetime, or the full period for which you were called to active duty (with certain exceptions).
• National Guard or Reserves: You must have completed at least six years of honorable service.
• Spouses: In some cases, spouses of military members who died in the line of duty or from a service-related disability may be eligible.

Here at Veterans America, we can help you navigate the VA loan process. We understand the complexities of military service records and can assist you in obtaining your Certificate of Eligibility (COE), a crucial document required for a VA loan application.
