VA Loan Tip #23 for Veterans
A Loans for Properties Outside of the US
The VA does not allow veteran mortgages for properties outside the United States. The VA does allow purchases in "American territories and possessions". These areas include Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, American Samoa , Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. If your proposed purchase is in one of these areas, you should be able to apply in the usual ways, but check with your VA rep for any special requirements or conditions based on the laws which cover lending in those territories.

Q: VA Foreclosures - Can I use a VA loan to buy a repo house? Does the VA have any such homes?
A: It's true, the VA does get control of properties with VA loan foreclosures. VA foreclosures are offered to the public in the same manner as repossessed HUD and USDA Development homes. If you are interested in one of these foreclosed single family houses, check the government website http://www.homesales.gov/ to see what might be available in your area. There are many different agencies offering homes on the website. Eligible buyers should contact a broker to have the Offer to Purchase And Contract of Sale VA form completed and submitted. All the routine eligibility and credit terms apply, as with any housing purchase. Check with your lender if you are unsure of the terms and conditions of purchase.
