The VA benefit for buying a home is a lifelong benefit
However, there are some important points to remember:
✅If you use your VA eligibility to buy a home and then you do not sell that home, your eligibility will still be tied up in that house.
✅You may still have “partial eligibility” to buy another home, but not the full eligibility. However, once you sell the home your eligibility is restored and can be used again.
