Can the VA be of assistance in applying for a home equity loan on a house that has no mortgage and is my primary residence?

You have to keep in mind that the VA does not provide you the loan, they back the loan with the bank. If I we have not already connected I can provide you a contact to better assist you.

Thanks for the reply John. It seems that I saw a phone contact for vets to get loan counseling. Would you know about that?? I'm a bit of a loan dummy, as I've gone thru life [72 yrs] without ever having to borrow $$ for housing and have always built as I can afford it and was always proud of that fact, but I now find myself a little cash short, but waiting for some cash that will come in 4 months.

SN Harry Bryan If I were you I'd call quicken loans they are very good and great to veterans. You will need to get a COE ( certificate of eligibility ) from the VA in your state or just call the main VA number. The people at Quicken can walk you through every thing and it's all done on-line, they even come to your home for the closing, just in case your a hermate or something ( that a joke ), they also go by Rocket loans same company. For me it was great because I was traveling to Hawaii at the time and if they needed something I would just scan it to my computer and email to them. I use to buy and sell houses so I've been through hundreds of closings and Quicken was by far the easiest and fastest. Good luck with your re-fi.
