Yes, it is possible to have more than one VA loan at the same time. However, there are certain restrictions and conditions that apply to multiple VA loans.

Verify your mortgage eligibility (Sep 28th, 2023)

In general, you can have more than one VA loan if you meet the eligibility requirements for each loan. This means that you must have enough remaining entitlement to cover the full loan amount for each property. Your entitlement is the portion of the VA’s guarantee that is available to you, and it can vary depending on your military service history and other factors.

If you have an existing VA loan, you may be able to use your remaining entitlement to obtain a second VA loan. However, you may need to meet additional requirements, such as a higher credit score and a lower debt-to-income ratio, to qualify for a second loan.

It’s important to note that there are limits on the amount of your entitlement that can be used for multiple loans. The VA has established a maximum guaranty amount of $144,000 for loans above $144,000, or 25% of the loan amount, whichever is less.

Additionally, if you have a VA loan on a primary residence, you may not be able to use your VA entitlement to purchase a second home or investment property. In this case, you may need to use other financing options, such as conventional or FHA loans.

Overall, if you are interested in obtaining multiple VA loans, it’s important to speak with a lender who is knowledgeable about VA loan requirements and can help guide you through the process.
