Re: October Closers!!

Location: North Carolina

Purchase price - $420,000 new construction
% Down - 0% (10k lot deposit being put towards closing)
Product - 30 yr VA

Builder's Preferred Lender Credit: $5k
Mid score - 685 <---THIS SCORE WAS ~530 in February 2020!

Rate - 3% 

Estimated Close Date -  10/29
Possible issues: None whatsoever. The only delay would be on the builder's end. I'm using their preferred lender and getting cash back at closing. All homes in the subdivision have exploded in value so appraisal shouldn't be an issue.

Location: Ohio

Asking/Purchase price: 417k/417k

% Down: 5%

Product: 30 yr. fixed VA loan

Seller/lender credits: 550 seller/1800 lender

Rate: 2.5%

Mid score: 781

Close date: Oct 28, 2021

 

Other points: I gave the seller 24 hours in the contract to accept. I told the agent that the offer I submitted was it and if the seller had any other offers, not to even counter. I don't get into "bidding wars" on assets. Offer accepted that day. Full inspection/appraisal/financing contingencies were included, just like the "good old days" of 2019. Union Savings Bank out of Dayton, OH has been wonderful to deal with. We gaven the sellers 14 days after close. They are a nice older couple moving to Florida!

 


May I ask why did you have to put down 5% on a VA loan?

Re: October Closers!!

As a a subsequent user of my VA benefit, the funding fee, with 0% down, is 3.6%. With 5% down, that is lowered to 1.65%. I'd rather pay that 5% to MY balance, and lower the funding fee by 2%. It works out to my putting down 3% and getting 5%. Why give the VA 2% MORE of my money. Easy decision for me.

@FLLGuy 
thank you! I will be making another post in the BK section with what our process looked like! Tons of paperwork and a lot of up and downs, but in the end it was all worth it.
