I am considering taking out a VA loan, but I need to know how to go about this. I understand that I have to meet certain requirements to qualify, but I’m not sure what they all are, especially when it comes to getting the VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE). Would someone be kind enough to explain it to me and take me through all the procedures for obtaining the COE?

I’m a veteran interested in using a VA loan to buy my first home, but I’ve heard that the process can be complicated. What should I know about VA loans to get started, and how can I ensure I’m prepared?
