How do I know if I'm eligible?
Eligibility depends on your service history. I can request your Certificate of Eligibility for you, usually in minutes.
Can I use a VA loan more than once?
Yes. Your benefit can be restored after you sell, and in some cases you can have two VA loans at once.
Who is exempt from the funding fee?
Veterans receiving VA disability compensation and some surviving spouses, among others. I'll check your situation.
Is there a maximum loan amount?
With full entitlement, the VA doesn't cap the loan amount, though lenders have their own limits.
