Advice to veterans on GI loan eligibility certificates
Veterans planning private GI loans for homes farms or businesses should apply to VA regional offices for certificates of eligibility before applying to lenders. The Korea era extends eligibility rules, and the VA will require service, prior use of guaranty, and prior real estate purchases to determine eligibility. Fast processing reduces delays and unnecessary correspondence. World War II veterans must apply by July 25 1957 while Korean era veterans have ten years from the end of the current emergency.
