Veteran Mortgages can be used to purchase most types of properties, including free standing single family homes, town houses and condominiums (if the condo project has Department of Veterans Affairs Approval). Manufactured housing and mobile homes can be more difficult and will be dependent on the lenders specific requirements. Regardless of the type of property you purchase, Veteran Mortgages are only intended for personal home purchases that are going to be occupied by the Veteran and/or their immediate family.
