can a widow of a veteran use the va loan to buy a home

It's not that easy of a question to answer based on the limited info you provided.. in general, if your spouse died while active military, or from an injury he sustained during his active period, then it's possible.. you cannot have remarried, and you must be younger than 57 years of age.. here's the link to VA's website outlining eligibility requirements for surviving spouses.. http://www.benefits.va.gov/HOMELOANS/purchaseco_eligibility.asp?expandable=0&subexpandable=0 I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

Yes

Typically yes you can. You need to call the VA and have them issue your VA Mortgage Certificate. We work in NM and should be able to help you. Give me a call when you are ready to move forward. We do not charge any lender/underwriting fees and work directly with a title underwriter to keep your fees low.

It Depends.

Yes, depending on certain conditions.

Yes, you nee to obtain:Eligibility requirements for surviving spouses..Contact your local VA Office

Generally speaking, YES... But, you will need to contact a local VA experienced mortgage broker to review your full details to see if your situation qualifies. IN MN or WI, visit www.JoeMetzler.com/valoans.htm

It is possible. But not that easy of a task and special requirements do apply.

In general, yes you can. If you spouse died while in active duty and you have not remarried than you could potentially qualify for a VA loan. Meet with a local VA lender to go over your unique situation on more detail and to determine if you are eligible.

Like all the others have spoken, Yes, but you really need to talk to a Lender411 loan officer to assess your situation
