Can a veteran get more than one VA mortgage loan?

( www.reddit.com )

Can a veteran get more than one VA mortgage loan? Hi. I just heard that VA loans are based on total amount allocated to a person, not on number of loans. For example, if a veteran is allowed to have a total of $500K in VA loans, he can buy two houses, each for $250K with VA loans on each. Does anyone here know the rules regarding this? submitted by /u/rkim777
