VA Home Loan Q&A – Part 2
More Questions Every Veteran Should Ask Before Buying a Home
❓ Q1: What documents do I need to get a VA loan?
A: You’ll need your Certificate of Eligibility (COE), which proves your VA loan entitlement. We can help you request your COE if you don’t already have it.
❓ Q2: Can I buy a second home with a VA loan?
A: VA loans are for primary residences only. You can’t use a VA loan for a second or vacation home, but you can use it again for another primary residence if your entitlement is available.
❓ Q3: Can I use a VA loan if I’m in the National Guard or Reserves?
A: Yes! If you’ve served at least 6 years in the Guard or Reserves — or were activated — you may qualify. We’ll walk you through your options.
❓ Q4: What happens if my appraisal comes in low?
A: If the VA appraisal is below the purchase price, you can:
-
Renegotiate
-
Pay the difference
-
Walk away with your earnest money protected
We’ll guide you through the right move for your situation.
❓ Q5: Can I include closing costs in a VA loan?
A: Not directly, but you can often negotiate for the seller to pay them. This is common with VA offers and something we help our buyers structure successfully.
❓ Q6: Are there special home search tools for VA-approved homes?
A: You can use traditional MLS tools, but not all homes meet VA minimum property requirements. We help filter properties so you don’t waste time on homes that won’t qualify.
❓ Q7: Can my spouse co-sign on a VA loan?
A: Yes! A married spouse can be on the loan and title. Some unmarried surviving spouses may also be eligible — ask us to confirm your eligibility.
❓ Q8: Why work with a VA-experienced Realtor?
A: Because not all agents understand the ins and outs of VA loans. We do. From writing clean offers to navigating inspections, we’re proud to serve military families with honor, respect, and experience.
