I hope they really do something with the funding fee at least. when I did a va refi I paid 3.3% in a funding fee it is really high. it would be awesome if they reduced that.

Any veteran (active, disabled, retired, etc.) in Southern California should call Barbara George at Superior Mortgage, Inc., 800-649-2600. Barbara has over 14 years experience doing VA loans in San Diego County and surrounding areas.

VA loan activity has increased substantially in the last several months due to the decrease in housing prices coupled with the increase in VA loan limits. However, we find that many real estate agents are inexperienced in VA transactions simply because for so many years, in a high-cost area such as this, the VA loan limit was not sufficient for a vet to buy even the average priced home. The result is that even now, most R.E. agents will avoid doing a VA even though they have a vet who is well qualified.

If the agent you are using tells you that a VA loan is not a good idea, or is too cumbersome or difficult to close, you really should call Barbara George or at least seek out someone who can give you the answers you need. There is no good reason for a qualifying vet to take out any other type of loan. The number again, 800-649-2600.

Does anyone know if I am able to secure a VA mortgage loan for a purchase of a house in New York state? I tried filling out the request and New York is not listed under the “State you plan to purchase the home”.

Any info would be great, thanks.
