Can I add my son to my current VA mortgage, & how?

The only way to Add a borrower to a loan is through the process of refinancing, and since he has his own VA eligibility then yes he can be added to a NEW loan. Otherwise, anyone can be added to Title to the property which would allow him to refinance later when you are ready to retire, and by doing so then, your VA eligibility would be released, but that means he is subject to interest rates in the market at that time. If he or his wife will occupy the property shortly, you could "Sell" him the property which would release your VA Eligibility, and would allow him to lock in today's low VA mortgage rates.

two ways to do it.. he can assume your existing loan by qualifying and not use his benefits.. in this scenario, your entitlement would be tied up until he has paid off the loan.. or he can assume your loan and use his entitlement.. this way your benefits are released.. you would not be able to just sign the property over to him.. that could cause a "Due on Sale" trigger, and your loan would be called due.. ..

To further elaborate, to refinance you need to have at least one person remain from the prior loan onto the new loan, which means your VA eligibility would need to stay tied to the property. Since he is Not on Title now (I assume) then if you don't want to have your VA tied to the property, he would need to Purchase the home from you, at terms you both decide are agreeable. I hope this helps clarify further.

You can refinance, or sell him the property, or just let him take over the payments, if the interest rate is low.

If you want to use your VA eligiblility again and have him responsible for the mortgage he'll need to take out a new mortgage in his name. Its possible for him to also to assume your mortgage and that is done through the current servicer.
