VA Loan Estimate Review Questions

What is a VA Loan Estimate?

A Loan Estimate is a required mortgage disclosure that shows the interest rate, payment, closing costs, cash to close, lender fees and other important loan terms. Reviewing it carefully can help you compare VA loan offers before you lock your rate.

Why should I compare VA Loan Estimates?

Two VA loan offers can look similar at first but differ in discount points, lender fees, credits, cash to close or long-term cost. A second review can help you understand what you are being offered before you commit.

What fees should I compare?

Compare lender fees, discount points, origination charges, appraisal fees, title charges, prepaid items, escrow setup, lender credits and the total estimated cash to close.

Should I compare APR or interest rate?

The interest rate affects the monthly principal and interest payment, while APR includes certain loan costs. Both numbers matter, but they should be reviewed with the full estimate rather than in isolation.

Can I switch lenders after receiving a Loan Estimate?

In many cases, borrowers can still compare lenders after receiving a Loan Estimate. Timing, contract deadlines, appraisal status and lock terms can affect the decision, so it is best to review the details quickly.
