i'd like to have va but i am not in the military. my girlfriend was in the navy for 12 years. if we both live in the house can we use va. please let me know
Unfortunately - since she is the only one with the Military background - she would have to be the person to qualify and to purchase the property (As long as she is eligible for a VA mortgage). There are a few programs that you qualify for - feel free to give me a call at (716) 932-7896 x102 and we can go through them!Thomas J. LiolosNMLS#: 48774Branch ManagerParagon Home Loans
if the credit score is your only concern, THERE IS NOTHING TO BE CONCERENED.you can have conventional or FHA depending how much of tax deduction do you need.call me if you need to talk 516.728.5212
You can use both incomes on an FHA loan (no marriage required), if both scores are good, as yours is. The VA loan requires marriage, if your income is needed.
VA does not allow co-borrowers, so to be able to use your income and credit, you would also need have VA benefits available to you. If not, then she would have to qualify on her own. She would have to have sufficient credit, credit scores, job, income, debt to income ratio's, etc, etc.. FHA allows for co-borrowers, and they only require 3.5% down payment..

Your score qualifies you for almost all mortgages available. For VA you would have to be married to utilize your girlfriends VA eligibility. Give me a call and I can go over in more detail what your options may be. 800-991-5309 Michelle
Previous answers indicating that you can't get a VA loan with an unmarried co-borrower are not entirely true. You can do this, however, the VA benefit will be halved meaning that you will likely have to make a 12.5% down payment. If you can di this, VA may be your best option. If you can't put this much down, then FHA (3.5%) or conventional (5%) may be the best route for you. Make sure that you work with an experienced lender that will lay out all your options AND go over all the pros and cons of each with you. Not everyone is up on all the details of all the available programs. I'm happy to help with the financing or just give you advice.
