Discuss income, debts, credit, property price, occupancy, and funds to close.

Complete the VA appraisal

Confirm the funding fee if applicable, rate, APR, payment, and cash to close before closing.
Who Qualifies?
VA eligibility is based on qualifying service or surviving-spouse status and a Certificate of Eligibility. Loan approval also depends on the lender’s review of credit, income, residual income, debts, occupancy, appraisal, and other applicable requirements.
Eligible borrowers should compare the VA option against conventional or other programs using the same purchase price and assumptions. The lack of PMI can be meaningful, but funding-fee treatment and the complete transaction still matter.
