Can I include the closing costs into my VA home loan?

If you are using your VA home loan for a purchase transaction you cannot include the closing costs into the loan. Your options are, the seller is allowed to pay all of the closing costs, up to 4% of the home price. If that is not the case then the veteran has to pay all of the closing costs at the end of closing. If you are doing an interest rate reduction refinance, then you can roll the closing costs into the loan.
