VA Pamphlet 26-7, Chapter 11 (Appraisal Report), Topic 11 — Farm Residences

Effective 2019-02-22 · publisher's stamp for this provision

Topic 11. Farm Residences Change Date: February 22, 2019 This Chapter has been revised in its entirety. a. Farm Residence is an Eligible Property Although VA does not make farm or other business loans, Veterans may use their VA home loan benefit to purchase a property on which there is a farm residence. b. No Limit on Number of Acres VA does not set a limit on the number of acres which the property may have. The appraisal of properties with acreage should not present difficulties if similar properties in the area were recently sold primarily for residential use. c. Residential Purposes Considered in Valuation Improvements not typically considered residential, for example, barns, corrals, or stables, must be valued by the appraiser as they contribute to the market value of the property for residential purposes only. The appraiser must not include in value any livestock, crops, or farm equipment.
