Are You Eligible for a Zero Down VA Loan?
You may qualify for a VA home loan in CA if…
- You are an active-duty or retired member of our nation’s military or you are an eligible surviving spouse.
- You served in any military branch or were an activated National Guard or Reserve member.
- You have fulfilled the minimum service requirement for your era of duty. As a general rule of thumb, 90 days of active-duty wartime service or 181 days of continuous activity-duty peacetime service fulfills this requirement for most candidates. But for some eras of duty, the requirements are different.
There are some common misconceptions about who qualifies for VA mortgages based on past events.
For example, it is a myth that you can only use your VA loan benefits once when you can use them an unlimited number of times.
It is also a misconception that your benefits expire. Your VA loan benefits are available for the rest of your lifetime.
Finally, it also is not true that a foreclosure or bankruptcy prevents you from applying for a VA mortgage. Once the waiting period is over, you are free to apply for a VA loan.
