Who might consider this program?
Eligible borrowers may want to compare VA-backed financing with other purchase or refinance options.
Eligibility and documents
A Certificate of Eligibility establishes the service-related benefit, but the lender also reviews credit, income and occupancy. A VA funding fee may apply; some borrowers are exempt.
Property considerations
The home and occupancy must meet VA and lender requirements. Appraisal and property review still apply.
Limits to understand
A Certificate of Eligibility alone is not a loan approval. Blaze is not affiliated with or endorsed by VA.
Common questions.
How do I get a Certificate of Eligibility?
VA explains the request process online; a loan officer can help identify which service documents are needed.
Does every borrower pay the VA funding fee?
No. Exemptions exist. The lender confirms whether the fee applies to a particular borrower.
