VETERANS ADMINISTRATION FINANCING FOR HOME BUYERS. . . . .
AGENTS: Please read the below.
VA FINANCING GUIDELINES DO NOT LIMIT A SELLERS "CONTRIBUTION" TO A BUYER TO 4%. That's just the icing on the cake. That 4% is IN ADDITION to actual closing costs.
Inspired by Keith Landis' article this a.m.

northern virginia real estate: PUT YOURSELF IN THE BUYERS SHOES - 10/08/06 06:31 PM

Home buyers drove around looking at signs and called … (2 comments)
