As a veteran, how do you know if you are eligible for a VA mortgage loan? The requirements are listed below. For further information or clarification, call one of our VA Home Loan Specialists.
After establishing that you are eligible for a VA home loan, you will need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). The COE verifies to the lender that you are eligible for a VA-Guaranteed mortgage loan.
It may be possible to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility from your lender. As a lender specializing in VA Loans, we have access to the ACE (Automated Certificate of Eligibility) system. This Internet-based application allows us to establish eligibility and issue an online Certificate of Eligibility in a matter of seconds.
If we cannot obtain your COE electronically, other measures can be taken. A COE can be obtained directly with proper documents. Please refer to the specific scenarios below.
DD Form 214 — copy showing the character of service (Item 24) and the narrative reason for separation (Item 28).
Current statement of service signed by the adjutant, personnel office, or commander of the unit or higher headquarters showing:
Statement of service signed by adjutant/personnel office/commander showing: full name, SSN, DOB, entry date on duty, any lost time, and command name.
NGB Form 22, Report of Separation and Record of Service, for each period of National Guard service or NGB Form 23, Retirement Points Accounting, and proof of the character of service.
Copy of your latest annual retirement points statement and evidence of honorable service.
VA Form 26-1817 and Veteran’s DD214 (if available). Include Veteran’s and surviving spouse’s SSNs on the 26-1817 form.

This program is almost a “unicorn!” It’s nearly unavailable in the industry because almost no company wants to bet on the success of the VA borrower. This program allows for the purchase of land and the construction of a home, either manufactured home or stick build.
This program is a “lost leader” and rarely promoted. It allows for minor renovations by a licensed contractor IN EXCESS of the appraised value. That’s the magic right there! An extra $50,000 can be financed over and above the purchase price. More than that and it gets complicated—you'll need a HUD consultant. Those funds are distributed through an escrow draw to the contractor.
Here are the “market challenges” that a Veteran friendly real estate agent, who is truly "VA savvy" can help you overcome:
To overcome these obstacles, you'll need a team that is committed to you and your goals.
Within the lending industry, it's not uncommon to find that you are just a number in their computer database, or a cog in their giant impersonal machine where your experience is definitely NOT Veteran friendly, but feeling more like being back in boot camp or basic training. They say, "We do VA loans," but what does that really mean?
Worse still, with real estate agents, there can be a lack of commitment or experience. We get phone calls all the time that sound like this, "My agent isn't calling me back." Or, "We made an offer on a home or condo and just before the deal was supposed to close, we found out the project wasn't VA approved!" - All too common... and sad.
Work with Veteran friendly real estate agents who have experience flexing their "VA savvy" muscles! And make sure they have a tight relationship with a VA Loan professional. You earned it, so you deserve the best support!
