2010 va handbook

Effective with the signing of this bill, a method previously used to derive the Department of Veterans Affairs VA loan limits has been restored and will be in effect through December 31, Note that while VA does not have a maximum loan amount, the county "limits" must be used to calculate VA's maximum guaranty amount for that county.

In general, limits have declined due to market conditions and because legislation pertaining to the Department of Veterans Affairs VA guaranty limits expired on December 31, Section of the law raises funding fees to the pre-November 18, levels.

The fees specified in Section are valid through September 30, VA Circular and other announcements noted the likelihood of funding fees remaining at their present levels.

Specifically, the sentence "Lenders will now be required to provide a breakout of the charges shown on line , Title Services and lender's title insurance, similar to the breakout required of line , Our origination charge, on the HUD-1" mistakenly implies that the breakout must be on the HUD-1 itself.

This is not the case. The breakout should be on any attachment or addendum that can be attached to the HUD Lenders are encouraged to combine the itemization of credits and title charges with the VA origination statement required by Circular Circular - Change 1 - July 29, Title Documentation in Florida PURPOSE: The purpose of this change is to amend the information in the circular concerning the fixed period of liability preceding acquisition of title in a foreclosure for Home Owners Association HOA dues and assessments on a condominium unit, as a result of a recent change in Florida law that became effective July 1, The circular also announces new documentation requirements for lenders and the elimination of a previously required disclosure statement.

Circular - August 13, Property Preservation Requirements and Fees PURPOSE: This circular describes minimum requirements for the inspection of properties securing VA-guaranteed home loans and the maintenance, preservation, and repair of any properties found to be abandoned.

The changes do not signal a relaxing of VA credit underwriting standards or a lessening of lender responsibilities.
