VA Loan Tip #9 for Veterans
A One Time Deal
A VA certificate of eligibility is renewable on a one-time basis. You qualify if the existing VA loan is paid in full, but you still own the property. Under the rules, you ordinarily must prove the property has been sold, but thanks to the one-time exception you may renew the VA certificate of eligibility. All you need to do is complete VA form 26-1880 and send it to the nearest VA Eligibility Center. Remember that getting released from liability for a VA loan or having a debt waived by the VA is not the same as paying off the loan. In that case you'll have to pay back the government's loss. Once that is done, the certificate of eligibility may be renewed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION # 23 [ -more VA Loan questions- ]
- - - - - -
Q: Does the VA Charge A Fee? - Are there fees associated with my VA home loan?
A: There is a "VA funding fee" required by law. A first-time buyer will pay a little over two percent for a 'no money down' loan, and a second time buyer's fee is just above three percent. The reason for the fee includes the idea that the veteran is reducing taxpayer burden by contributing to the cost of his VA mortgage. The higher fee for second-time borrowers presumes that there is equity in the home, or the borrower has had plenty of time to save in order to pay for the extra percentage. There is also a fee for VA refinance loans, and they fall within the same general price guidelines; just above two percent for first-timers and just above three percent for those who borrow again.
