Description
This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loan guaranty regulations to implement certain provisions of various public laws. VA is amending its regulations to provide for loans to Reservists and members of the National Guard, loans with negotiated interest rates, adjustable rate mortgages, restoration of entitlement in certain cases, energy efficient mortgages, and flood zone determination fees. VA is also amending its regulations in the areas of manufactured housing certifications, certain interest rate reduction refinancing loans, and conveyance of properties notwithstanding overbids. In addition, the regulations are amended to reflect a reduced funding fee for interest rate reduction refinancing loans and an increase in the maximum guaranty amount. These changes increase the types of loans available to veterans and the categories of veterans eligible for VA home loans.
