Example, I qualify for a VA loan, I plan on living on the property but I have a friend who is willing to be on the deed and loan to rent out his "room". Is this possible or should we pursue a different type of loan.Can two unmarried people (a veteran and a non-veteran) co-sign on a VA loan?2016-04-03T22:49:36-04:00SPC(P) Private RallyPoint Member1426630<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Can you purchase a home using a VA loan with two un-married parties on the loan?

There is no telling where your buddies career will be several years into the future. Maybe you can work out a contract between the two of you where at certain gates he earns equity into your home, but I just couldn't see doing 30 years with a friend due to unknowns. Good luck.Response by CPT Mark Gonzalez made Apr 3 at 2016 11:31 PM2016-04-03T23:31:25-04:002016-04-03T23:31:25-04:00Maj John Bell1426736<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There is such a thing as co-signing a loan. But the cases I'm aware of are usually small short term loans to people that have not established enough credit history on their own. For a definitive answer, talk to the lending institution that you plan to use when you apply for a VA loanResponse by Maj John Bell made Apr 3 at 2016 11:45 PM2016-04-03T23:45:15-04:002016-04-03T23:45:15-04:00CH (MAJ) Luke Phillips1431888<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Cody, give me a call.
