Veterans Mortgage Loan
The Veterans Administration or (V.A) does not lend on a mortgage. They like other government mortgage programs, insure to the
investor that the loan will be repaid if there is a default. The Veterans mortgage is a great loan because it allows active and inactive military personnel,
to qualify for a home with no money down. The V.A does require that you have a good past credit history, and that you qualify income wise for the mortgage
you are attempting to obtain. If you have your DD 214 which is your certificate of eligibility in the veterans program, and you meet the other criteria, then you are
well on you way. The maximum limit that V.A will insure is 25% of the conforming loan limit. So if limit on (Freddie Mac) is 417k. Then V.A will insure up to
$104,000. The myth is that once you use your veterans DD 214 that you cannot use it again. You can qualify for an additional loan, provided you have not reached your
maximum limit covered under by the Veterans Administration. So if your first purchase was $200,000, then the amount you used would be roughly half of your VA coverage amount. You could
apply the additional amount towards the purchase of another property as long as it fits the criteria.
