How To Get Farm Loans For Veterans

By David Long


A veteran is a man or woman that has served his country in the military. These people have the opportunity to apply for Farm loans for veterans when they get out of the military, and in some cases even while they are still in the service. To qualify, the veteran needs a Certificate of Eligibility from the VA.

A veteran cannot have a dishonorable discharge from the military and get a CEO. He must have served 181 consecutive days during peacetime and at least 90 consecutive days during wartime. After the Vietnam War was over, things changed, and a 24 month rule became effective. To receive a Certificate of Eligibility in the following years, a veteran had to serve for 24 months in a row.

The veteran must find a real estate agent that can show him properties that are available in the area that he is interested in. If he does not know one, he can check for one online. He can also talk to people he knows, and ask them to recommend a trustworthy agent that he can use.

He will need to search for a lender that works with VA farm loans. Since interest rates, closing rates and discount points are set by each lender, it pays to check with different ones before deciding which one to use. Once he selects a lender, he should ask about becoming pre-qualified so he knows how much they will lend him to buy a piece of property.

Now it is time for him to start looking at property that is up for sale in his price range. The real estate agent needs to know specifically what the veteran is looking for so he can keep a lookout for new properties that are being placed on the market. Once the person finds the place he wants to purchase, a purchase and sales agreement that includes a VA option clause needs to be made. This clause basically protects the buyer by stating that if the property costs more than what the VA says it is worth, the buyer has the option to decline it or to pursue it. It also gives him the ability to back out of the deal if the VA decides not to give him a loan.

Once he has have found the place that he wants, it is time to fill out the application for a farm loan from the VA with the help of the lender. The client will need to provide the lending company with bank statements, pay stubs and anything else he has that shows he is capable of paying off the loan. When he has provide everything they requires, he will need to sit back and wait.

While the veteran waits for his loan to be approved, the lender seeks a value appraisal on the property from the VA. The lender also checks out all of the information that the client has provided them concerning his assets and income. When the lending company finishes with everything, they decide whether or not to approve his loan request.

The lender is responsible for selecting someone from their company, a title company or a lawyer of their choice to determine the date and time of the closing. The closing takes place once the loan is approved. It does not always happen on the date it is set for. The person chosen by the company is responsible for resetting the date and time. When the final papers are signed, the ownership of the property passes on to the veteran.
