Can Non-Vets Assume VA loans?

[Justin Brickman]

Hey all, I have a client that's looking to scale his portfolio and we're looking at Assumable Loans here in San Antonio. When researching online, it looks there are some instances where non-vets can assume VA loans, but the veteran's entitlement would remain tied to the loan.

How common is this and are there ever situations when this a win-win for both sides?

Pease don’t. 

This ties up the veteran's eligibility, which can have long-term consequences for them. While it might seem like a solution now, it limits their ability to use their VA benefits in the future. These benefits are hard-earned, and taking away their eligibility by assuming their loan isn't a fair trade-off. I'd encourage the veteran to explore other options that don't compromise their future borrowing power.
