Veteran eligibility

When considering a veteran eligibility home loan, it is important to be aware of the requirements that must be met in order to qualify. VA loans require service members and veterans alike to meet certain criteria in order to receive such a loan.

Honorable discharge

The most basic requirement is having an honorable discharge or general under honorable conditions release from active duty military service

Time served

In addition to this, the service member or veteran must have completed a minimum period of 90 days of active duty service during wartime (such as in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and other eligible periods) or 181 continuous days of active duty service (during peacetime).

Certificate of Eligibility

Another requirement is having a Certificate of Eligibility from the Department of Veterans Affairs. This document is necessary to prove the veteran’s eligibility for the loan, and should be obtained prior to beginning the process.

Loan Qualifications

Other requirements include having a decent credit score, enough income to cover any existing debt payments in addition to mortgage payments, and an acceptable debt-to-income ratio. The VA also requires service members to agree to a funding fee on the loan if the veteran does not have any form of disability with the VA. For a VA IRRRL, different rules apply so it’s always good to check with your Va Loan Specialist.

When considering a veteran eligibility home loan, it is important to meet all of the requirements and understand what documents are necessary in order to qualify. With careful planning and research, veterans can enjoy the benefits of this type of loan with ease.
