VA Approved Real Estate in San Diego

Using your VA Loan to buy Real Estate in San Diego

When you use your VA Loan to purchase real estate there are a few guidelines that you will need to take into consideration. Here at The Lewis Team, not only are some of us Veterans but we have also helped hundreds of active duty military and veterans through the home buying process. We have also help many active duty military and veterans relocate to San Diego.

Here is some information on buying San Diego real estate with a VA Loan.

VA Home Loans can be used to purchase the following:

An existing single family detached home.
A condominium or townhome in a VA Approved Project. [For condominiums and townhomes, the entire complex must be approved by the VA before the buyer can receive a loan for a unit in the complex.]
A multi-unit property (up to four-plex), provided the buyer occupies one of the units. If more than one veteran is buying, then one additional unit can be added to the four. Additionally, if rental income from the property dictates whether or not the veteran can qualify for the loan, then the veteran must show that he or she has the background needed to be a successful landlord and have enough cash reserves to make payments on the property for six months without rental income.

A manufactured (mobile) home or a modular home. Finding a lender to finance these types of homes can be difficult because they’re considered depreciating properties, although modular homes are more likely to appreciate – making finding a lender slightly easier. Additionally, manufactured and modular homes must meet certain conditions, like being affixed to a permanent foundation.
New construction. However, builders, plans, and building sites must be VA-approved, require several inspections, and the builders must provide at least a one-year warranty. Also, many lenders are hesitant to accept zero down financing for new constructions. Alternatively, veterans can obtain a non-VA Home Loan and refinance the home with a VA Home Loan once the building is complete.

Eligibility

You must have satisfactory credit, sufficient income, and a valid Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to be eligible for a VA-guaranteed home loan. The home must be for your own personal occupancy. The eligibility requirements to obtain a COE are listed below for Servicemembers and Veterans, spouses, and other eligible beneficiaries.

VA must deny applications from surviving spouses who remarried before December 6, 2003 that are received after December 15, 2004.)
Surviving Spouses of certain totally disabled veterans whose disability may not have been the cause of death

Other Eligible Beneficiaries

You may also apply for eligibility if you fall into one of the following categories:

Certain U.S. citizens who served in the armed forces of a government allied with the United States in World War II
Individuals with service as members in certain organizations, such as Public Health Service officers, cadets at the United States Military, Air Force, or Coast Guard Academy, midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy, officers of National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, merchant seaman with World War II service, and others

Restoration of Entitlement

Veterans can have previously-used entitlement "restored" to purchase another home with a VA loan if:

The property purchased with the prior VA loan has been sold and the loan paid in full, or
A qualified Veteran-transferee (buyer) agrees to assume the VA loan and substitute his or her entitlement for the same amount of entitlement originally used by the Veteran seller. The entitlement may also be restored one time only if the Veteran has repaid the prior VA loan in full, but has not disposed of the property purchased with the prior VA loan. Remaining entitlement and restoration of entitlement can be requested through the VA Eligibility Center by completing VA Form 26-1880.

If you are active duty military or a veteran and you have questions about buying a home or condo in San Diego then please contact The Lewis Team, we would love to answer any questions that you have.

Branches of the Military are eligible for a VA Loan?

The VA considers service in these branches of the military and other organizations when deciding whether to issue a Certificate of Eligibility:

The Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps
Selected Reserve and National Guard
Cadets in the United States Military Academy, United States Air Force Academy or United States Coast Guard Academy
Officers serving in Public Health Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy
