VA LOANS

The VA Loan guaranty program was advanced as an alternative device to a cash bonus, because it would be vastly less expensive to the Government, and because it would better serve the needs of veterans.

The basic requirements for a VA loan approval is that applicant must be an eligible veteran who has available entitlement, a valid Certificate of Eligibility.

The Veteran must occupy the property as a primary residence within a reasonable period of time after the loan closes. The Veteran must be as satisfactory credit risk. The income of the borrower(s) must be shown stable and sufficient to meet the mortgage payments and cover the cost of owning a home while taking care of other obligations and expenses and still have enough money left over to support their family.
