How To Get Farm Loans For Veterans

By David Long


Veterans are those men and women who have been enlisted in a branch of the military during a time of war or during a time of peace. One of the benefits that these people receive for their service is farm loans for veterans. The first step to get one of these loans is to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility.

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.

At this point, the veteran needs to look for a real estate agent to help him find the place he is looking for. He can do a search online to find all of the local agents. Talking to people he knows may also help him find someone dependable.

Lenders determine their own discount points, interest rates and closing rates, making it convenient for the buyer to shop around and find the best deal. The lender must be one that works with VA farm loans. When the buyer selects his lender, he needs to become pre-qualified for a loan so he knows how much money he can use to purchase 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.

The lender helps the client apply for a farm loan from the VA when the veteran finds the property that he wishes to purchase. They will want pay stubs, a list of assets and bank statements that prove he can afford the property and pay it off over time. When everything requested is in the hands of the lender, the client must be patient and wait.

During this waiting time, the lender is busy checking all of the paperwork the client provided him. He also seeks an appraisal to see how much the property is worth. When all of this is finished, the lender decides whether or not to grant the loan.

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.
