If you are a member of the U.S. Military, you may qualify for a $0-down home loan. Details are below, but first, I want to thank and honor all who served our great country.
Highest respect and gratitude to you, our United States Military Veterans and current members of the United States Military!
The Basics for Qualifying for a VA Home Loan
CREDIT
Perfect credit not required. The most recent 12 months are the most important. If you had difficulty in the past, but are back on track paying your creditors on time, now, that is what underwriting wants to see. Old collections and charge-offs might be ignored, depending on the balance and age.
The mortgage lenders pulls a tri-merge credit report with all three credit scores. The lowest score is thrown out. The middle score is used for qualifying. 640 score preferred, but some lenders go lower.
INCOME
Need a two-year history of employment. Use your gross income, before any deductions. Your loan officer will qualify your debt-to-income ratio, which is usually not over 50% (although there are exceptions).
ASSETS
With a VA loan, there is no down payment. The VA Funding Fee is rolled into the loan. If the seller pays some or all of your closing costs, then you may be able to get into a home with little cash to close.
MAKING SENSE
Your new house payment has to make sense for your income. You don’t want to put yourself in a position where you can’t afford the payment or where you can’t have a good quality of life because of the payment. However, in some areas, rent is as high as a mortgage payment.
My best recommendation is to contact a mortgage broker who is licensed in your state. Brokers have more options than banks. Brokers can often get a lower interest rate than a direct lender can offer. Brokers can usually close faster than big banks. Brokers are better, and yes, I am biased, because I am a mortgage broker, licensed in California and Washington states.
May God bless our country, our U.S. Military and Veterans — and, all of us, God’s beloved children.
Thanks for this. I don’t need help with credit repair but I want to thank you.

The link was removed when the offer expired. It was for Veteran’s Day only. However, Credit Repair Resources LLC might offer a discount for U.S. Veterans 24/7. You can reach them at (216) 591-1000. They are attorney-owned. The CEO is an expert witness in court cases involving credit. He is also a keynote speaker at credit conferences and is highly respected in the credit business field.
Thanks for the information! I overlooked including the income section in my blog. I will update it later thanks to you!
I am blessed to know the information helped you, Guillermo.
