• Seller can pay up to 4% of the buyers closing cost and a added benefit, the seller also can pay an additional 2% towards paying debts off for the buyer to qualify for the loan
• If the rates should drop, the existing VA loan can be refinanced to the lower rate without an appraisal, no income needed and here in California no need for another termite report 
• If the Veteran has a connected VA disability of 20% or more the VA funding fee is waived
• If the Veteran has limited funds for the closing cost the lender can increase the interest rate to give a lender credit to cover the buyers closing cost
