If it's truly a second home, you'd be looking at conventional financing with 10% down. If I can answer any add'l questions, I'd be happy to help. Best wishes otherwise, Kimberly Lawson, Licensed Mortgage Loan Originator - Ohio only. Contact and licensing information can be found on my profile.
Not a problem but to advise you properly we need much more info.. If you're talking about a 2nd home as in "Vacation Home", then you cannot use VA for this.. VA is only for owner occupied primary residence... For this type of loan, you to go conventional and will need a minimum of 10% down, but ideally 25% will get you the best terms.. if your talking about renting out your existing home and buying another home, then you can use VA for this so long as you have enough entitlement left.. VA entitlement is based on $417K.. If your existing property was purchased for $200K, and the new home will be $217K, then you can use VA.. ($200K + $217K = $417K).. Even if the total loans for both your existing and new homes exceed $417K, you can still use VA, but you will need to put 25% down for every dollar over $417K.. If your talking about selling your existing home and purchasing a new home using VA, then it's not a problem at all.. understand that the VA funding fee is different for first time use vs. 2nd time..

Lots of details already provided by others; bottom line: it's possible if this will be your primary residence and you have sufficient remaining entitlement to qualify for another mortgage - along with the normal mortgage qualification requirements
