As long as he can qualify for a VA home loan he should be able to qualify to assume your VA home loan. However you will need to get permission from your current lender and if approved this would release your from your VA liability allowing you to use your VA loan benefits again.

I agree with Sean Young, below and he would have to qualify, since he is not on the loan , and you can not buy another house on the VA loan, while this house is in your name.. I DO have a special financing that depends on the size of the loan, that is for the military for a cash line advance.. All I need is good credit , no employment or income needed or bank statements .. send me your email to yourloanpartnerforlife@live.com and I will send you the information
Sean has a great answer! Your son would need to qualify for VA financing in order to be able to take over your current VA loan.
Everyone has given you a good answer. Follow their lead.
You can either sell him the home for what ever sale price you decide, or he can assume or transfer the loan using his VA benefits/entitlement.. because rates are really low right now, much lower than they were 16 years ago, it might be more beneficial for him to purchase your home and obtain a new VA loan in his name only, taking advantage of today's lower rates. This will put the loan in his name only and release you of any liability.. and because he starting a new loan, he can choose his term.. 15 years, 20 years, or 30 years.

Another option would be for him to do a VA streamline refinance of your mortgage into his name which would also substitute his entitlement for yours. If you want to stay on the title you'll need to work with your current lender as suggested by Sean. Depending on the amount of your entitlement used on the current home it MAY be possible to obtain another VA mortgage without paying off the current loan.
VA loans are assumable. Contact your current lender and ask them how to get started and their procedure for letting him assume the loan. As he is also VA, that works out even better, because putting it in his name will release your VA benefits. For VA loans in MN, SD, and WI - visit www.VA-IRRRL-Loan-MN.com
