Hello! I'm very happy to answer your VA loan questions... there are some clarification questions we would need to discuss to know your exact situation, but here are some points to possibly consider. Generally speaking, if you've already used your VA eligibility, there are still options for getting your VA benefits restored and utilizing the remaining benefits for another owner occupied home purchase. The VA will require a brief explanation as to why the current home isn't meeting your housing needs. (Size, location, inability to sell and need to keep as a rental due to a relocation for work, etc...) We help veteran buyers put in their requests to get their eligibility restored and find out what remaining benefits are available. These requests are initiated through the VA Portal, but ultimately researched and approved through the Atlanta office. (Denver is the VA Home Loan Center that covers WA State, but they defer to the Atlanta office for the eligibility requests. We can put you in touch with the correct department to streamline the request. This can take a few days, so it's important to do this early in your approval process.) That eligibility certificate will determine what your benefit levels are, whether a VA funding fee is required (ANY level of VA disability these days usually results in the funding fee being waived.) This eligibility level will determine if a down payment is required for a second VA loan. Alternatively, as we don't know your entire situation here... If your husband is using his VA eligibility instead, then you can still be on the new loan as a spouse, even if you have an existing VA loan. Rental income can be used on the departing residence without need of proving an equity position. That can help offset the mortgage on the other home and improve your overall debt ratios and satisfy your residual monthly net income requirements. As you can see, there are a few moving parts, but easily navigated depending on your personal situation. As a daily course of business, we do not charge the standard 1% loan origination fee that is common with VA lenders, and we also do not bill the veteran for underwriting or processing fees. Therefore, in combination with the seller customarily paying the veteran's escrow settlement fees, the closing costs are extremely low on our VA loan products. We are also highly competitive on rates as well. If you would like to chat briefly to get some more specific answers, I'm happy to offer my help.
