Thereu2019s no PMI (private mortgage insurance) with a VA home loan, so thereu2019s no on-going monthly expense to worry about.VA does charge a u201cFunding Feeu201d on all the loans they make. This fee goes directly to the VA, and is a one-time charge at closing. Itu2019s placed in reserves to allow the VA to cover the costs of loan defaults. The fee can be paid in cash at time of closing, or u201crolled intou201d the loan balance due. If youu2019re a disabled vet, the VA will accept an application to waive this fee, and theyu2019ll make the final call on that.The fee is a percentage of the loan amount. For example, letu2019s suppose youu2019re getting a loan/purchase for $200,000. The funding fee is a percentage of that, and, according to the online fee calculator I found, appears to be $4300. As I said, this can be paid at closing as a one-time charge, or simply added to the loan balanceu2014which is what most people do.Just do an internet search for u201cVA funding fee calculatoru201d to get examples for your situation.
