Once you know you are eligible for a VA loan, that means you are one step closer to owning a home! Time to review how to go about applying for this VA home loan

How to Get a VA Loan (4-Step Process)

Typically speaking, there are four steps required in the VA Loan eligibility process:

1. Do your VA Loan homework (review the information above).
2. Contact a VA-approved lender to start the application.
3. Obtain your COE (through a lender or by yourself).
4. Supplement all necessary documentation to the lender, including:

• W2s
• Tax Returns
• Recent Bank Statements
• Paystubs / Income Statements

After these four steps have been completed, your VA loan lender will review all information and contact you upon decision.
