VA Loan Eligibility For Buying A San Antonio Home

Do you have questions about your VA eligibility for buying a San Antonio home?

Your eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis by the Department of Veteran Affairs and is proven by a Certificate of Eligibility showing the amount of your entitlement.

To be considered for a VA home loan, you must meet one or a combination of these basic military service requirements:

90 days of active duty during wartime

181 days of continuous active duty during peacetime

6 years of service for Reservist/National Guard

Must you have an honorable discharge to qualify?  Perhaps not.  When it comes to the question of discharge type, the VA determines eligibility on a case-by-case basis.

Issuance of your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) is essential before you apply for your VA backed home mortgage.  It tells the lender the amount of your entitlement.

So, what's so great about a VA home loan?  Basically, it's a wonderful reward for your dedication and service to your country.  Specifically, you'll enjoy:

No down payment (100% financing)

No private mortgage insurance (PMI)

Relaxed qualifying standards

Competitive interest rates

No penalties for mortgage pre-payment

Cash-out and debt consolidation

Streamline rate reduction

For more information on your eligibility, you should contact the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, or speak with a VA loan professional at your credit union, bank, or at a mortgage brokerage.
