PURCHASE AGREEMENT VA borrowers can negotiate with sellers. Once you come to terms with the seller, you'll enter into a purchase agreement, which is contingent upon an appraisal and the lender’s final approval. LOAN UNDERWRITING Once you've been accepted, your loan documentation and contract will go to an experienced underwriter for review. The underwriter will verify financial information and request additional items as needed to meet VA guidelines. CLOSING (and congratulations!) At closing, you’ll sign paperwork, finalize your VA loan and take ownership of your new home. Ninety percent of VA loans come with no down payment, and most VA borrowers pay little to no out-of-pocket costs at their loan closing. NMLS 1907
