VA home loan requirements only require a two year wait after a chapter 7 bankruptcy for active military and veterans to qualify for a VA home loan in California.  The wait after a chapter 13 bankruptcy is only 1 year.  Many times borrowers VA loan credit score had rebounded to over a 640 score in a short time after a bankruptcy, which is where it needs to be to get a VA loan after bankruptcy.

There are some other important considerations when getting a VA loan after a bankruptcy:

  • VA loan requirements state that you generally cannot have any derogatory credit items after your bankruptcy.  So you cannot be late or have any major credit issues post bankruptcy
  • VA loan guidelines also state that you have to have re-established your credit post bankruptcy.  This means you have to have open lines of credit that you are paying on time
  • For a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, VA home loan requirements state that you must have not missed a payment in your chapter 13 bankruptcy in the last 12 most and the court must approved your new VA mortgage
So I hope this gives you a lot of hope to be able to purchase a home or refinance into a VA home loan in California.  Don’t hesitate to call at 858-922-7899 or email me at homeloan8@gmail.com if you would like to be approved for a VA loan.  There are many exciting reasons to pursue VA financing in California:
  • VA loan interest rates are now officially at all time lows, meaning they have NEVER been this loan in the entire history of the United States
  • VA loan guidelines waive the VA funding fee for veterans that receive disability pay
  • VA loan limits are STILL up to $1 million in San Francisco, San Jose, San Mateo, Oakland, East Bay area.  VA loan limits in Los Angeles, Orange County, Anaheim, Santa Ana are $700,000 with zero down.  VA loan limits in San Diego are $546,250.  VA loan limits in Fresno, Riverside, Sacramento, Redding and many other areas loan limits are $417,000.  This is at a time when FHA and conventional loans have reduced their loan limits substantially
