MILITARY BUYERS: Buying a Home

---

Buying a home is a bit more complicated than it used to be, because Federal regulations governing mortgages have been tightened. So, if you will be relying on a mortgage - even if it's a VA Loan - you may have to "jump through a few more hoops" than in the past.

But, don't worry, your VA Loan advisor and Robin will guide you through the process.

Before you apply for a VA Loan, you must get a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the Veterans Administration. (A surviving spouse may also apply.)

Check the requirements for your term of service at the VA website.

Many of the mortgage lenders with whom I work specialize in securing VA Loans. After verifying your eligibility and gathering some basic financial information, the mortgage specialist will issue a Qualification Letter, which shows "how much house" you can afford. You will submit a copy of this letter with your offer to buy a house.

Contact Robin, to be referred to a reliable mortgage specialist.
