*Rocket Mortgage currently only allows joint VA loans on VA IRRRLs (refinance loans), as long as the non-spouse was previously obligated on the loan or title when the prior loan closed. VA loans, insured by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), are an attractive mortgage option because they require no down payment. The challenge, however, is that not everyone can get a VA loan. To qualify, you must be a member or veteran of the U.S. military or an unmarried, surviving spouse of a veteran.
