The first half of #4 is completely wrong. First you have to be an owner-occupant since with a VA loan you have to live in the home being purchased. Now if after living in the home and you later move you CAN rent out the home, unless restricted by covenants.
And to clarify the 2nd part, with a multiplex home, you have to reside in one of the units.
Other than that its a great post and good information!
Let’s help Veterans and give them correct information.
Do you know how long you have to live in the house before renting it out. I rented mine after 30 days because my employer demands me to live on site or I would lose my job, I di not know that at the time I thought I could just commute since it was s close it would not be a problem.
How can an employer tell you where to live?
one example is if you’re the manager of a storage unit quite often they have an apartment over the office and required to live in the apartment rent free
Can I just say what a relief to find an individual who truly knows what they’re talking
about on the internet. You definitely realize how to bring
a problem to light and make it important. More people ought to look at this and understand this side of your story.
It’s surprising you are not more popular since you most certainly possess
the gift. https://Vimeo.com/86451837
Meeting all requirements for a VA home advance is a straightforward system for generally veterans. Any moneylender who offers VA supported home loans can help you with the subtle elements. The trap is to do the examination to discover loan specialists who offer VA home credits and to apply to every independently.

I am wondering if you know anything about how easy it is to sell a house bought with a VA loan? What if due to work you relocate and need to sell your house with in a year of ownership?
Thank you in advance
This will not be a problem, as long as your home is approved for other types of loans they will be able to use that option. With that said, it is easier to turn your home to another VA applicant sense the home has already met the requirements.
There used to be a 5% down VA investor loan… Do you know if this is still available?
Hi David!
That’s a great question that a lender in your area would be better prepared to answer.
Thanks for reaching out!

My ex husband and I purchased a home with a VA loan while he was active duty. We then got orders to move and decided to rent out the home. We eventually separated and he was caretaker of the house. But he let it go into foreclosure. So I got involved and retained the original realtor that sold us the home to put it on a short sale. It was sold. My problem now is that that mortgage is showing up on my credit report in default. I don’t know what to do to get it off since I was under the impression I was out from under it. Any ideas?
I had a home that I bought with VA and got divorced. I kept the house but took on all the debt so when I fell behind on the mortgage for 3 months I was facing foreclosure so I had to sell as a short sale. I sold the home but the mortgage company still put on my credit that it was a foreclosure but I got it taken off by disputing it with all of the credit reporting agencies
Last year, I used a VA loan to purchase three separate cottages with separate addresses. They were on the same parcel though. I rented the front two out to totally cover the mortgage for all three which includes taxes and insurance. My official address is in the third house. You can buy up to a four unit property using a VA loan and I plan to use another VA loan when it comes time to buy my next investment property. I only found one realtor that was aware you can do that. One of them was a fixer upper at the time I made the offer but through negotiations and some repairs being included in the loan it was ready to go at closing.
Back in 1996 when I first got out of the military it was so hard to use my VA benefits to buy a home. Back then they told me I had to do the same job in the civilian world as I did in the military so I wasn’t able to use my benefits for years until they revised the standards. Back then you couldn’t buy a condo or a trailer with VA and a rental property was seen as a commercial investment which required a large amount of money down.
I’m glad they have made the system better since then and a lot easier
My wife has been researching if her father qualifies for VA loans but isn’t sure where to start. I had no idea that VA loans were only used for rentals and can’t be used for property purchases. We will have to find a place that will approve VA tenants like you mentioned. Thanks for sharing!
Before reading this article, I did not know how buying a rental property would work with a VA loan. Making sure that your property is your primary occupancy is the difficult part. Having a duplex would be a great way to get around this.
It is good to know that the benefits of the VA loans will not expire. Now if I was eligible for that, I would for sure go that route as it does seem easier to do than a normal loan. I would also be sure to get help by a professional as they would know a lot more about what’s going on than me. https://uwlending.com/home-purchase/
They were on a similar bundle however. I leased the front two out to absolutely cover the home loan for every one of the three which incorporates duties and protection.
I’m glad you talked about how most military veterans aren’t aware of the benefits of loan programs specially made for them. My best friend’s dad was in the military force, and the other day my friend mentioned they’re dealing with money issues and don’t know what to do. That’s why I believe they don’t know about the benefits of a VA home loan, so I’ll be sure to tell them. I really appreciate you helping me learn about VA home loans.
