Abstract
The Department of Veterans Affairs is backing the home, so they want to make sure the condition of the home is good before they approve any type of mortgage loan. VA Appraisal Checklist Here are some of the general items a VA appraisal will consider when determining the value of the property: How to Prepare for Your VA Home Appraisal Get connected with a real estate agent Whether you're getting a VA loan or refinance, find a real estate agent with VA experience. Check your home If you're going for a VA refinance, you should begin by inspecting your own home. Get a home inspection While the appraiser is going to evaluate your home to meet the VA's needs, they won't do a full-blown inspection. After the appraisal is done but before you purchase a home, be sure to get a home inspection. A home inspector will help you determine how much work the new home might require in the future. The VA Home Loan & Appraisal Process The VA appraisal is required for both VA loans and refinances, but it doesn't have to be as stressful as it seems.
