| Rule | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| No down payment with full entitlement | With full entitlement there is no VA loan limit and no down payment required; the lender still sets the loan amount you qualify for. |
| Funding fee | 2.15% of the loan on first use with less than 5% down, lower with a down payment, 3.3% on later use with no down payment. Veterans who receive VA disability compensation are exempt. |
| Seller concessions | The seller can pay your normal closing costs plus concessions of up to 4% of the value, such as the funding fee or paying off debts. |
| VA appraisal and MPRs | The appraiser checks value and minimum property requirements: a sound roof, working heat, drinkable water and no peeling paint on older homes. Repairs get done before closing. |
| Tidewater | If the appraisal is coming in low, the appraiser notifies us first and we have two business days to send sales that support the price. |
| Assumable VA loans | A buyer can take over a seller's VA loan at its rate with lender approval. If the buyer is not a veteran, the seller's entitlement stays tied to the loan. |
