How to use Little Known VA Home Loan Guidelines to Buy a Home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Other than the standard things most people know about, VA will allow some little known, creative\u00a0ways to help a buyer qualify with a VA home loan.<\/h1>\n

Here are 7 Ways Knowledge of VA Details Will Help Buyers:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The seller can pay off the\u00a0buyer’s\u00a0debts as part of the purchase price<\/li>\n
  2. The buyer can pay off revolving debts like credit cards without having to close the accounts<\/li>\n
  3. On installment loans that are almost paid off, the payments\u00a0may not\u00a0have to be counted<\/li>\n
  4. Can gross up nontaxable income to help the debt ratio (not for residual though)<\/li>\n
  5. VA goes more by residual income rather than debt ratio which can help an approval<\/li>\n
  6. A VA buyer can get a 2nd VA loan while having another VA loan<\/li>\n
  7. VA is now the only loan that will not count student loans deferred over 1 year from closing<\/li>\n
  8. Can count new rental income from lease when converting current residence to a rental<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
