Eligibility Requirements for the VA Loan Program
Depending on the type of VA loan you’re applying for, the length of your service/commitment will determine your eligibility for benefits. Some additional eligibility requirements include having a good credit score, sufficient income, and a valid Certificate of Eligibility.
This may be the best financial avenue for borrowers, especially if they plan on staying in the house for the next several years or so. However, if you do see yourself moving within the next few years, an ARM with a low initial interest rate might be the best way to lower your monthly payment.
There is no longer a VA loan limit over $144,000 for eligible veterans with full entitlement.
