How To Obtain Farm Loans For Veterans

By David Long


A veteran is someone who has served in a branch of the military over a period of time. As a result, he has the privilege of applying for farm loans for veterans once he has met the requirements. To prove he is eligible for one of these loans, he needs a Certificate of Eligibility (CEO) from the VA.

To qualify for a CEO, veterans can not have been discharged under a dishonorable discharge. During wartime, they had to serve for a minimum of ninety consecutive days and during peacetime they had to serve for 181 straight days. In 1980, the twenty-four month rule was put into place. It stated that veterans must serve twenty-four straight months in order to receive a Certificate of Eligibility.

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.

The buyer must find a lender that understands VA farm loans. Each individual lender sets their own closing rates, discount points and interest rates so it helps considerably to check several lenders before deciding which one to work with. Becoming pre-qualified for a loan, lets the buyer know how much money he can count on having to purchase property.

Now the veteran can search for a property that he wishes to buy. It helps if he discusses the things the property must have for him to purchase it with the real estate agent so the agent knows exactly what he wants. When property is found, the client must make a purchase and sales agreement with a VA option clause. The clause keeps the buyer safe in case the VA deems the property too expensive for its value. The purchaser can make the decision to choose another property or to go ahead and buy the property he chose. If the VA rejects his loan application, he can also back out of the deal.

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.

If his loan application is approved, it will be time for the closing. The lender chooses a representative from their company, a lawyer or a title company to set the date and time for the transfer of the property to take place. Sometimes it takes longer than is expected for the closing, and it passes the date that was set. The person chosen by the lender then sets a new date and time for the closing. Once the closing takes place and the final papers are signed, the property belongs to the veteran.
