To utilize the VA home loan program, you’ll need to first establish eligibility, or prove that you have earned the benefit. To do so, you’ll need to obtain your Certificate of Eligibility, or COE. Aligned Mortgage can help you get your COE during the preapproval process. In the meantime, below is some detailed information on who generally qualifies for the program.
If you served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard, you are eligible if you meet the minimum service days detailed below.
Selected Reserves or National Guard qualifications require 6 years of active membership and honorable discharge, placement on retired list, transfer to other honorable service or continuation in Selective Reserves.
Other individuals who may qualify are those discharged for a service-connected disabilty, the un-remarried spouse of a veteran who died in service or from a service-connected disability or the spouse of a Prisoner of War or someone Missing in Action.

Robert help my family at the time with the loan process for our house. He was patient, confident, and knowledgeable. I had a lot of questions and he was able to answer them. The entire process was nerve racking and Robert was able to ensure us that the everything went according to plan and kept our confidence up. At the end, we had a house we wanted and could afford. If there were stars I would give him five.

We worked with Robert Glover to buy our first home. He was super helpful and available at all times of the day. We had lots of questions that he answered via text, call, or email – whatever we needed. Highly recommend.
