VA Loan Closing Costs

Zero Down Doesn'tMean Zero Costs.

A VA loan can often be done with no down payment, but a closing still has costs. The VA limits what a Veteran can be charged, and knowing those limits is how you spot a quote that is padded.

We charge no lender fees. The third-party costs still exist, and we show them to you.

Every loan officer on our team is a Veteran or a military spouse. Call (678) 488-0608.

Where the Money Goes

The Cost Categories at VA Closing.

Lender Fees

Origination and lender-side charges. We do not charge lender fees, so this line is where a padded quote shows up fastest when you compare.

VA Funding Fee

A one-time fee paid to the VA that varies by down payment and whether the benefit has been used before. It can usually be financed into the loan.

Funding Fee Exemptions

Some borrowers are exempt — for example, many receiving VA compensation for a service-connected disability. Exemption is confirmed by the VA, not by us.

Third-Party Costs

Appraisal, title, recording, and settlement services. These are real costs paid to other companies and are not lender profit.

Prepaids & Escrows

Homeowners insurance, property taxes, and per-diem interest collected at closing. These are your own expenses paid in advance, not fees.

Seller Concessions

A seller may contribute toward certain costs within VA and program limits. Whether it happens depends on your negotiation and the market.

How to Read a Quote

How to Spot a Padded Estimate.

  • Compare Loan Estimates page by page, not by the rate on the front
  • Look at Section A — lender fees — before anything else
  • Check whether the funding fee is being financed or collected at closing
  • Confirm whether an exemption applies to you before accepting the fee
  • Separate real third-party costs from lender charges dressed up as third-party
  • Ask what is estimated versus locked, since prepaids move with your closing date
