​

Understanding Your VA Loan Entitlement

Your VA loan entitlement is the amount the VA guarantees on your loan. The good news? You can use your VA loan benefit more than once. Even if you've already purchased a home with a VA loan, you may have remaining entitlement for a second property.

​

Can You Buy a Second Home with a VA Loan in Oklahoma?

Yes, but you must meet specific conditions:

​

• Remaining Entitlement: You need sufficient remaining entitlement after your first VA loan, or you can restore it after paying off a previous loan.

• Occupancy Requirements: VA loans are for primary residences. However, if you're relocating due to PCS orders or employment, you may qualify for a second VA loan.

• Financial Qualification: You must meet lender credit and income requirements, including residual income to cover both mortgages if applicable.

​

​

Steps to Using Your VA Loan for a Second Home

​

1. Check Your Certificate of Eligibility (COE)

Obtain your COE through the VA's eBenefits portal or work with VA Home Team OKC to facilitate this process.

​

2. Determine Your Remaining Entitlement

Calculate how much entitlement you've used and how much remains available.

​

3. Work with VA-Savvy Professionals

Choose a lender experienced with VA loans and partner with a real estate team that understands VA buyers. This is where VA Home Team OKC excels. We understand:
