What are the closing costs for VA loans for military personnel?
Answer:The basic closing costs of a VA loan for military personnel vary depending on the VA funding fee. Veterans receiving compensation from the VA are exempt from paying a funding fee.
The down payment greatly reduces the funding fee - with no down payment, the funding fee can go over 3%; 10% down payment cuts it to 1.25%.
Refinances have 0.5% funding fee; veterans who take a VA loan for a second time and do not provide at least 5% down payment are charged 3.3% VA funding fee.
All closing costs for VA home loans for the military can be rolled into the loan, or paid in cash.

Final piece of advice: Monitor your credit report and score regularly, to ensure there are no inaccuracies or unauthorized activity. Your credit report and score are the two major methods that creditors and lenders use to make a credit decision about you. Higher scores usually mean lower interest rates, which will save you money.
