Join us as we sit down with Lisa Wynkoop from Atlantic Bay, a trusted local lender, to clear up the confusion and set the record straight. We’ll cover eligibility requirements, loan usage, property types, and the financial aspects of VA loans. Whether you’re buying your first home, relocating due to new orders, or investing in multi-family properties, this video is packed with valuable insights tailored for veterans and their families.

Key Topics Covered in This Video:

🟦 Misconception #1: You Can Only Use Your VA Loan Once. Do you think you can only use your VA loan benefit a single time? Think again! We explain how veterans can use their VA loan multiple times and even purchase a new home while still owning a property secured by a VA loan. Discover how your remaining eligibility works and how to navigate purchasing another home if you're relocating.

🟦 Misconception #2: VA Loans Are Hard to Qualify ForMany believe that VA loans are difficult to obtain, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Learn why VA loans are actually more flexible when it comes to debt-to-income ratios and credit score requirements—sometimes as low as 580! We also bust the myth that VA appraisals are more stringent than conventional appraisals.

🟦 Misconception #3: VA Loans Are Only for Single-Family HomesDid you know you can use your VA loan to purchase a duplex, triplex, or even a four-unit property? We’ll explain how veterans can buy income-producing properties as long as they occupy one of the units. Plus, we cover the ins and outs of buying condos with a VA loan, including how to get a condo project VA-approved.

🟦 Misconception #4: VA Loans Cover All CostsWhile VA loans offer the incredible benefit of zero down payment, there are still closing costs to consider. We break down what expenses veterans should expect, how much closing costs typically run, and strategies for negotiating seller assistance to cover these fees. Learn why you can’t roll closing costs into your loan and how to plan financially.

🟦 Misconception #5: VA Loans Come with No Strings AttachedThe VA loan is a fantastic benefit, but it’s important to understand the funding fee and how it affects your overall loan cost. We discuss who’s exempt from the funding fee, how much it typically costs, and ways to minimize this expense. Plus, we address unique scenarios like using rental income to qualify for a second VA loan.
