Are va-eligible borrowers only allowed one zero-cost home purchase?

Va eligible borrowers can purchase a home with zero down as often as they wish providing they closed out their previous va loan. Only one va loan outstanding at any given time.

Hello. I don't know if VA is a zero cost loan. There is zero down-payment required, but there are costs involved like any other loan. You are only permitted to have 1 VA loan at any given time. If you have used your eligibility previously, the VA Funding Fee is higher. If you have at least 20% VA disability, the Funding Fee will be waived by the VA. There will still be normal loan closing costs, but you can purchase with $0 down-payment. Hope this helps and thank you for your service to our country.

Zero down, not zero costs.. And yes.. You can use this benefit as often as you wish, but can only have one outstand VA loan at a time.. the VA upfront funding fee is higher your 2nd time around, but is waived if you're a disabled vet...

All VA loans can be as little as Zero $ Down, and you can have as many as you want, but VA only allows you to have one outstanding VA loan at a time. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in California and Arizona ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

Patrick answered the question very well. To add to his answer, you can aslo have a zero-cost VA loan, which is a separate then a Zero-Down loan, if the loan officer wants to raise the rate to cover any fees you may have to pay at closing. However, it is normal practice for the seller to pay all the closing costs on a purchase, but each transaction varies, and if the seller is not willing or not able to pay for all of those costs then you would need to do so to purchase the home.

Not to further confuse you, but there are provisions where you can actually even have more than 1 outstanding VA loan at a time.

All of the responses put together give you some very good information toward the answer to your question. I am not a mortgage person but I know that 1) with a VA loan there are closing costs, but there can be adjustments made by your mortgage company where the closing costs would be absorbed into the loan. 2) there is a higher VA loan funding fee for any loans taken after the first use of this great Veterans benefit. 3) You can only have one VA loan in your name at any given time. The ways to get a previous loan out of your name are to either get it paid off, in full, or to find a fellow veteran who would like to assume your VA loan under their VA benefits. That would take the loan out of your name and put it into their name. It would be possible for a non-veteran to assume your VA loan, but if you allow a non-veteran to assume your VA loan then the loan is not taken out of your name and you would be prohibited from obtaining a new VA loan. I hope this helps.
