How easy is it to get Money from the VA?

your friend is ignorant. yes he can get a business loan, that is true but if he fails at his business he will still have to pay back the money. it is a loan just like from a bank. he pays or gets screwed.

The VA has standards like most agencies but they just have to be slightly less " a$$hole like " than regular lenders and yes they usually back their loans with 80% of the amount borrowed but realize they do this to help veterans and if you screw of a VA loan it does fck your credit like a regular loan and will may *** off your chances of ever getting another, way more difficult to get another in the future, think a civilian loan standards are bad just wait till you screw over the VA. Yes he/she is still liable for the amount owed, period!

i'm a social worker and i try to get things for my patients everyday from the VA. it's freakin hard. almost as bad as trying to squeeze money out of Medicaid.
