VA Loan Requirements

Unlike some misconception, getting approval for a VA loan is not as complicated as it was several years ago. Today, in order to get a VA loan you only need to satisfy a number of requirements and conditions. Here are the things a veteran must have/be in order to get a VA loan approval:

  1. The applicant should be an eligible veteran with an available entitlement.
  2. The loan should be used for an eligible purpose.
  3. The applicant should occupy or have the intention of occupying the residential property as his home within a rational duration of time after the loan has been closed.
  4. The applicant should have an acceptable credit risk.
  5. The income of the applicant and spouse, if applicable, should be proven to be stable and adequate to shoulder mortgage payments, meet the expenses of owning a house, cover other costs, and still have a suitable amount left to support the family.
