Get the Details You Need for VA Loan Eligibility
Why is a VA Loan Better?
Compared to conventional loans, VA loans have a lot of advantages, including no down payment, and no private mortgage insurance (PMI) requirements. With VA loans, you also have the ability to get a loan with a higher debt-to-income ratio. VA loans often have lower interest rates when compared to conventional loans as well.
How Do VA Loans Work for Manufactured Homes?
At West Coast Veterans, a VA Home Purchase can be used to acquire a stick-built property or a manufactured home. If you decide you want to purchase a manufactured home, the age requirement for VA loan eligibility of these homes is from June 1976 or newer in age, double-wide (in some cases a single-wide will qualify), on real property, and must be in above average condition.
There are some other challenges and complications that come with Manufactured Homes, but we’ve been providing manufactured home VA loans for a very long time. We’ll help you understand VA loan eligibility for mobile and manufactured homes, and show you how they work if you decide to go that route.
VA Cash Out Refinancing
If you already have a VA Home Loan, you can do a VA Cash Out Refinance to take funds for anything from:
- College tuition
- Debt consolidation
- Home improvements
- Investing
- Anywhere you need available capital
From time to time the banks may cap you at the amount of funds you can finance, currently they fluctuate at 90% to 100% of the value of your home. When you contact us, we’ll update you with what is happening currently in the markets.
What is a VA Irrrl Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan?
With an IRRRL, you can lower your rate with no appraisal and no income documentation and replace your higher interest loan with the lower-rate loan. Streamlines can be done on your primary residence or a residence you moved from with VA entitlement.
