Hi Jolene,Are you looking to construct a new property on that piece of land. If so then there is a VA One-Time construction loan that combines the land and construction of property into one loan.If your looking just to purchase land I don't believe VA allows for this you would need to do a land loan. Give me a call or send me an email for more details.George KulcsarLoanSimple562-335-8272gkulcsar@loansimple.comwww.loansimple.com

You cannot use VA to purchase raw land.. only to purchase a primary residence. Va does allow for a construction loan, however, you'll find it rather difficult to find a lender willing to do one.. Your better off going to a local bank and do a construction loan with 30% down, and then once the construction is complete, you can do a cash out refinance through VA and get the funds you laid out back.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. William J.

I have to agree with both answers here and I was going to say what William Acres said - Good luck finding a lender who does the VA construction loans and it seems George does them so that is excellent. I am in CA and love VA loans but we don't do the construction loans.
