Some last minute confusion regarding legislative changes to VA loan fees has some lenders and prospective homeowners scrambling for clarity with home closings on the line. But the Department of Veterans Affairs sought to calm fears by pledging to cover additional costs while waiting for President Obama to act on a bill that would keep VA funding fees in place thru mid-November.
The fees are mandatory charges applied to every VA purchase and re-finance loan. They help keep the program running and help ensure service members can continue to purchase a home with no money down or private mortgage insurance. The bill now is awaiting the presidents signature and would stave off the rate drop until Nov. 17.
Government officials expect the VA funding fee issue to be resolved within days. I will keep you updated on this issue.
