As a divorced widow of a vet who receives commissary and healthcare privileges am I entitled to a VA mortgage loan

Unfortunately you are not.

OK , here is a situation that i have encountered..I had a client that had to get divorced because it was the only way the vet could get benefits.. he got real messed up in the service.. i got him a loan.. is this your case //

its complicated, since she was a Russian bride, the VA did not recognize their marriage, and she had to divorce him , for him to get benefits, and he died one yr later..

It's possible, but it depends on your specific circumstances - as outlined above by Nevin. Generally it depends on when and from what causes your spouse passed. I can help: pdumouchel@primelending.com

It's possible but more info would be need.. there are other loan programs out there including grants, that would enable you to purchase with little to no down payment.. The best advice I can give you is to contact a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Do not use the local "Big" bank, or one of those 50 states internet lenders or nationwide lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.
