NOTE: For all VA home loans, the funding fee may be paid in cash or it may be included
in the loan. Veterans who qualify as 10% disabled or greater as a result of active
military service are not required to pay a funding fee. Those who are not exempt
from a funding fee may lower their fee by putting money down on their VA home purchase.
In addition, reasonable closing costs may be charged by the mortgage company. These
costs may not be included in the loan. The following items may be paid by the veteran
purchaser, the seller, or shared. Closing costs may vary among companies and also
throughout the nation because of differing local laws and customs.
VA loan costs may include VA appraisal, credit report, loan origination fee (usually
1 percent of the loan), discount points, title search and title insurance, recording
fees, state and/or local transfer taxes, if applicable, survey
No commissions, brokerage fees or "buyer broker" fees may be charged to
the veteran buyer.
