  7. Request your Certificate of Eligibility for home loan benefits • Everyone has the same amount of initial benefits • Direct Mortgage Loans will pull this online for you at no cost to you – just contact us • VA Loan Certificate of Eligibility can be very confusing. Having someone to walk you through can quickly help you identify your entitlement • Usually your COE is immediately available – if not we can request it be sent to you

  8. What’s important for you? • Funding Fee – This lets your lender know the amount of funding fee you will pay. Exempt means you pay $0. • Basic Entitlement - $36,000 is the basic entitlement every Veteran starts with • If you had a previous VA loan or an active loan you will see it listed under “Prior Loans charged to entitlement” section

  9. Important Items to Note • Even if you have used all of your entitlement on previous homes, it will be restored once you sell that home • You do have additional entitlement available after the initial $36,000. The amount will vary slightly in different areas • Find a professional that understands your benefits, your life, and your needs • You can use your benefits while serving during active duty • You can close with a Power of Attorney while on active duty

  10. Steps To Purchasing a Home with a VA Loan • Find a VA mortgage lending expert • Review Eligibility with your lender • Get pre-approved for a VA home loan • Find a trusted realtor • Find your dream home! • Sign a Contract • Work with your lender to process and close your loan – we will guide you through the entire process • Move in!!!

  11. Refinancing Options: • Take cash out of your home equity • Pay off debt • College tuition • Home Improvements • Special options for Energy Efficient Improvements Streamline – Interest Rate Reduction Loans • An IRRRL can only be made to refinance a property on which you have already used your VA loan eligibility • No appraisal is required • Limited documentation needs • An IRRRL may be done with "no money out of pocket" • Refinance out of a VA ARM • Veterans are strongly urged to contact qualified lenders • You may NOT receive any cash from the loan proceeds • You do not have to occupy the property. You must certify that you previously occupied and still own the home.
