 G Loan Procedure
Veteran Given Complete Instructions; VA Does Not Loan Money; Government Agency Guarantees 5Ooo Payment

50 you want to get loan Wltn a Veterans Administration guaranty, Veteran? Well, here are the steps you must take to get that VA guar antee
 Step One: Once you have made up your mind that you wish to pur- chase property with CT loan, go to a bank or other lending agency.
 Step Two: Present your plan and your original discharge papers. The property is then checked by a VA appraiser, and the appraisal goes to the lending agency. If the VA ap- praisal indicates that the purchase price is not above the reasonable value of the property, and the lend- ing agency is satisfied with your credit and your income is properly related to the mortgage carrying charges, the lending agency may consider your loan favorably.
 Step Three: The lending agency then forwards the papers and neces- sary data to the Veterans Adminis- tration's loan guaranty officer, and the loan is automatically guaranteed after being certified to by the lend- CT that it is in compliance with the regulations.
 VA Does Not Loan Money
 That, according to Edward w. O'Meara, loan guaranty officer, for the VA Regional Office in Hartford, is the system in nutshell. But and O'Meara offers the follow ing advice and information:
 One: Remember that the. VA does not, repeat, does not lend the money. A lending agency leuds the money. The Veterans Administration mere ly guarantees 50 per cent of the loan up to $4,000 on real estate loans, and up to 5000 on non-real estate loans. The amount of VA guarantee does not, however, limit the amount of money you can bor- row from lending agency. The amount you can borrow is, of course, up to the lending agency. But the VA will only guarantee part of the loan as aforementioned.
 The guarantee by the VA serves to increase the security 8 veteran can offer 8 lender. Without the guaranty the veteran might not be able to meet the ordinary mortgage loan requests of the lender. A vet eran has ten years from the official end of the war in which to make an for a CT loan. If a vet eran is not satisfied with present market conditions. real estate val ues, he has plenty of time in which to take advantage of the loan guar antee privilege

like any other loan made by lend ing agency. It has to be paid back with interest. Lending agencies are not giving money away. It just isn't done in the business world. When veteran gets a loan, he becomes part of the backbone of business which is based on credit.
 As for the manner of payments, that is worked out by the veteran and the lender. The interest rate, however, on a guaranteed loan can- not exceed 4 per cent. Payments must be such that they will repay loan on a home or business real estate loan within 25 years, farm real-eState loan within 40 years, and a non-real-estate loan within 10 years.
