What Is VA Loan Pre-Approval?

VA loan pre-approval is a formal review of your credit, income, and VA eligibility that results in a written commitment from a lender for a specific loan amount. It is stronger than a pre-qualification and gives you a real competitive edge when making offers on homes.

What You Need to Get Pre-Approved

  • Certificate of Eligibility (COE) — Joshua can help you obtain this
  • Recent pay stubs and W-2s (last 2 years)
  • Bank statements (last 2–3 months)
  • Government-issued photo ID
  • DD-214 (discharge paperwork) for veterans; active-duty service members provide a statement of service

Benefits of Getting Pre-Approved

  • Know exactly how much home you can afford before you shop
  • Make stronger offers — sellers prefer pre-approved buyers
  • Speed up the closing process once your offer is accepted
  • Identify and resolve potential credit or eligibility issues in advance
