How Does A Government VA Loan Work?

Applying for a Veteran Assistance loan requires a Certificate of Eligibility from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Obtaining your COE is done using your DD214 and applying for eligibility on the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs’ website. Once you’ve gathered your COE, First Source is happy to help you apply for your VA loan.

Who Qualifies For A Government VA Loan?

VA loans may be offered to veterans and current service members in the military, National Guard and Reserves. You may be eligible for a COE if you did not receive a dishonorable discharge and you meet the minimum active-duty service requirements based on when you served.

What Are The Requirements To Use A Government VA Loan?

  • 100% financing available for 1-4 unit properties

  • Must be owner-occupied

  • Must be an eligible veteran or current service member in the military, National Guard, or Reserves

  • Seller can contribute up to 4% toward closing costs and unlimited prepaid costs

  • Your DD214 and Certificate of Eligibility are required
