Caps fees and eases rules for VA home loans, making them more affordable for veterans.
This bill would make several changes to the VA home loan program to help veterans. It would set limits on closing costs and seller fees, and make it easier for veterans to refinance their loans. The bill also aims to expand options for veterans buying condominiums and lower the minimum interest rate for adjustable rate mortgages.
Today, VA home loan rules may include third-party checks for lender fees, specific appraisal needs for refinancing, and a 200 basis point minimum interest rate for adjustable rate mortgages. The VA also approves condominium developments. If this bill becomes law, the VA would not require third-party checks for lender fees, could waive appraisals for refinancing, and the minimum interest rate for adjustable rate mortgages would drop to 75 basis points. It would also remove the VA approval for condo developments and cap veteran closing costs at 1.5 percent and seller fees at six percent.
