My fiancée & I are looking @ a property right now for sale for just under $100k

She currently makes 35k a year. I make $1520 net a month on unemployment due to injury. I have been in the Army reserves for almost 7 years now.

What do the loan companies look @ when determining eligibility ? Would my unemployment be good enough for them to establish funding for a VA loan ?

I assume her 35k a year is not enough alone for a $100k loan ?

what do you guys think ?

I can put 10% down if need be. would this help me at all ??

Are you permanently disabled? Is the unemployment permanent SSI or temporary disability? What other long term debt do you have?

Depending on how much other debt your fiance has, $35k/year may easily qualify for the mortgage.
