VA Loan Closing Costs Explained

Learn which closing costs appear on a VA purchase and how seller-paid costs, lender credits, and your loan structure affect cash due at closing.

The direct answer

A VA loan can remove the required down payment for many eligible borrowers, but it does not automatically remove closing costs. Seller-paid allowable costs, seller concessions, lender credits, and the actual charges on the file determine how much cash is needed.

What this video covers

  • The difference between down payment and closing costs
