No !  But you can buy a apartment building with another veteran. Then you can only buy a 7 unit building. Kinda dumb. as a one veteran you can buy a 4 unit building. DUH ! \nContact your local VA for sure ,either way you need the home loan guareentee paper. it is green

It depends on what state you are from.  In Texas you have to serve 6 months active duty to qualify for a Texas Veteran Land Board loan.  The max amount you can borrow is 45,000 though.  I don't know what other states have available.

The Housing and Urban Development (HUD) agency gives grants on housing http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm#grants , but they do not give out grants for individuals. As indicated on their page http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm "HUD does not offer direct grants or loans to individuals."\n\nThere are very few grants available to private individuals, and as far as I can find, there's none for the purpose of downpayment assistance unless:\n\n- You provide sweat equity (14.247 SELF-HELP HOMEOWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.PROGRAM_TEXT_RPT.SHOW?p_arg_names=prog_nbr&p_arg_values=14.247)  \n \n- You are a teacher (14.310 TEACHER NEXT DOOR INITIATIVE http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.PROGRAM_TEXT_RPT.SHOW?p_arg_names=prog_nbr&p_arg_values=14.310 ) \n\nTo avoid being scammed, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nOn CFDA, you can find a complete list of housing grants on this page\n\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.FUNCTIONAL_PROGRAM_TXT_RPT.SHOW?p_arg_names=func_cat_cd&p_arg_values=ML\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nThe government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.\n\nFor one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant. Grants have objectives, and the grant applications that best captures the grant's objectives are approved.\n\nThere is a stringent review process through a committee composed of federal employees and selected experts in the field. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved.

there are many different loan opportunities out there. you just have to do your research and see who's willing to accept your loan request. you may need someone to co sign with you so look into that too.

It is really sad that mental health therapists/ and human service workers  work with those that are considered to be the "ills" in society and are not app[reciated for the work that they do. I believe that if you join the military, the peace corps or VISTA, there is a way to have some of your loans forgiven.\n\nIf you havent's done so already, consolidate your loans.  Also work with the people that gave you the loan and work out a smaller payment.\n\nGood Luck

Ours has been discharged now for about a year and a half and we are in the process of purchasing a 4 bdr, 2bth home. So far we have the home but are now looking for a piece of land to put it on. All we had to do was show proof of discharge and what all was paid off in it. Since you have no money to put down I would check around and find out what ya had to have down. If you had to have a down payment I would try to get a co-signer, or look into FHA, HUD or Section 8 or any Government loan programs to see if I could get help from any of them. Good luck and wish ya the best..... :0)

You do, providing that you partcipated in the Montgomery or GI Bll.\nIf not, you may be able to apply with the VA under the VR&E\nVeteran's Rehabilitation & Education program.\nFirst you need to contact a local Veteran's Service Officer, there is usually one in you community to assist you.\nIf you belong to a veteran's organization like American Legion, VFW... They usually have someone who takes care of this.\n\nAlso, you can search the VA's website, their link is http://www.va.gov\n\nGood Luck

No.  You can have your loans defered during service but no branch will pay for loans that were aquired before enlistment.  If that's your only reason for wanting to join then perhaps the military is not for you.

Yes you can.  I'm a soldier at Ft Hood in the same situation.\n\nYou can get housing as long as you don't default on your payment plan.  However, the waiting list is longer for a soldier trying to re-enter housing as he is not considered a high priority.

There is no "VA" home loan per se.  The program is a guarantee by the federal government to lenders that says the government  will pay  your loan off if you default.  \n\nThere is a maximum amount but I forget what the amount is but I would guess $225-$275K or so.  \n\nIt makes lenders feel confortable making the loan knowing they will get paid back if for some reason, you are not able to meet the terms of the note.

Not exactly if you are renting. If you can prove that you have a regular source of income such as paystubs, etc, you should be good to go.\n\nBut if you are buying.. it will impact ur ability to seek loans

Go to the business office at the VA hospital.  They will give you the paperwork to fill out and I believe they either give you the money or cut you a check...used to take my brother to the VA and dealt with the same situation.

Call the Veteran Administration and find out what is available.  Your mom wouldn't be able to go into a VA home, unless she is a veteran too.
