Yes, no, and maybe. Officially a VA loan is really designed as "one at a time". But technically you can "possibly" have two VA loans at the same time as loan as the first one isn't using all your VA eligibility. A VA lender like myself would have to review your current Certificate of Eligibility, and then see how much new home you are looking to buy to see if you can possible swing it. This is generally possible if the current home is just a small loan and not using much of your eligibility. It is a bit complicated, so call me if you have questions.

Yes it is possible. Like Joe mentioned there are several factors that have to be considered and calculated. I recently helped someone use their VA loan benefit for a second house. Call me if you would lime to discuss. My closest office id Madison

Yes, it is possible. Best to speak with a good loan officer and see what your options are and how you would go about qualifying for that.

Well, like Joe said.. yes, no and maybe.. understand that VA loans are for owner occupied, primary residence only.. if you have a VA loan now, and wish to buy another home that you intend on moving into as your NEW primary residence, then yes.. this is allowed, but you would be limited to your remaining entitlement.. With VA, you can do zero down up to a maximum of $417K. If you have a $200K VA loan now, then you would be limited to a $217K loan for the next property. ($200K + $217K=$417K). you can purchase a home for more than the $217K, but you would need to put 25% of the difference down. Example: you have $217K remaining, you purchase a $317K home which is $100K over your remaining entitlement.. you would need to put 25% of the $100K, or $25,000 down to purchase this $317K home using VA.
