VA Loan Quiz

The VA Loan Quiz is a short set of questions that points you to the VA loan path that fits your situation right now: buying with lower credit, buying after a bankruptcy or foreclosure, refinancing, or using a VA cash-out. It takes about two minutes, there is no credit pull, and nothing here is an offer to lend or a guarantee of approval. If you would rather just talk it through, call or text me at 937-572-3713.

Most veterans who land here have already been told no somewhere else, or they are trying to figure out whether it is even worth applying. The quiz sorts that out. It asks what you are trying to do, where your credit sits, and whether anything happened in the last few years that a lender will ask about, then it tells you which path applies and what actually gets looked at on that path.

Start the quiz

Does this pull my credit?

No. There is no credit check, no soft pull, and no hard pull. The quiz only knows what you tell it, which is why the credit question is a range and not a number.

Is this a preapproval?

No, and it is not an approval, a denial, or a commitment to lend. A real preapproval requires a full application, a credit report, and income and asset documentation. The quiz is a starting point that tells you which conversation to have.

What if my credit is bad?

Then you are in the right place, because that is most of what I do. VA itself does not set a minimum credit score. Lenders set their own minimums on top of the VA rules, which is why the same veteran can be turned down at one place and approved at another. Details are in VA loan credit score requirements, how to get a VA home loan with bad credit, and VA manual underwriting.

What happens after I submit the quiz?

Your answers come to me directly, and I follow up with the specific next step for your file. You do not have to wait for that. Call or text 937-572-3713 and we can go through it now.
