Now that you've determined that you're eligible for a VA home loan (if you aren't sure, please check your VA loan eligibility), you can begin the loan application process. This process involves six important steps: finding a VA-approved lender, pre-qualifying for a loan, selecting your home, drawing up the purchase contract, getting the property appraised by the VA, and finalizing the loan. For a guide to these steps, see this Military.com article.
