VA Loan Funding Fee Tables

There are some cases where there is an exemption to the funding fee requirement.

 

The following persons are exempt from paying the funding fee:

 

  • Veterans receiving VA compensation for service-connected disabilities.
  • Veterans who would be entitled to receive compensation for service-connected disabilities if they did not receive retirement pay.
  • Surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from service-connected disabilities (whether or not such surviving spouses are veterans with their own entitlement and whether or not they are using their own entitlement on the loan).

Thanks for the information perhaps adding that if the Veteran is at least 10% disability that the funding fee is waived. There also is some information in my community that there is a fee that the seller has to pay. If anyone knows,  that it would be appreciated. I know that the seller may be something but I don't believe there is a requirement that the seller does.

Thanks Bruce!!  Lots of work trying to get what I have together.  I appreciate the correction and have made change.  I found the info at the www.homeloans.va.gov/circulars/26_06_05.pdf

b. Temporary Funding Fee Increase: The law increases the funding fee from 3.3 percent to 3.35 percent for subsequent loans with less than a five percent down payment closed during Fiscal
Year 2007 (October 1, 2006 – September 30, 2007).

 

Dominick- Hope the guides can make the loans easy to understand.  There are lots of benefits to VA loans.

Ron-  OK...the 10% disability I covered in another place, but should have added here.  thanks for the correction.  The other question you raised is what the seller pays?  I will say this...  head to chapter 8 in this...

In addition to the “itemized fees and charges,” the lender may charge the veteran a flat charge not to exceed 1% of the loan amount. 

Calculate the 1% on the principal amount after adding the funding fee to the loan, if the funding fee is paid from loan proceeds (except IRRRLs).  The lender’s flat charge is intended to cover all of the lender’s costs and services which are not reimbursable as “itemized fees and charges.”

 

The following list provides examples of items that cannot be charged to the veteran as “itemized fees and charges.”  Instead, the lender must cover any cost of these items out of its flat fee.

 

Lender’s appraisals

Lender’s inspections, except in construction loan cases

loan closing or settlement fees

document preparation fees

Preparing loan papers or conveyancing fees

Attorney’s services other than for title work

photographs

interest rate lock-in fees

postage and other mailing charges, stationery, telephone calls, and other overhead

amortization schedules, pass books, and membership or entrance fees

escrow fees or charges

 

 Examples of items that cannot be charged to the veteran:

 

notary fees

commitment fees or marketing fees of any secondary purchaser of the mortgage and preparation and recording of assignment of mortgage to such purchaser

trustee’s fees or charges

loan application or processing fees

fees for preparation of truth-in-lending disclosure statement

fees charged by loan brokers, finders or other third parties whether affiliated with the lender or not, and tax service fees.
