Los Angeles Veteran Home Buyers Benefit From Lower Funding Fees (as of November 18, 2011)

N.B:  On the day before I published this, HR 674 passed, reverting the funding fee amounts to the “old” levels.  It was updated in VA Circular 26-11-19, published November 22, 2011.  The “new” lower funding fee schedule was in effect for three days, from Nov 18-21.  Sorry for the confusion.

The Veterans Administration announced that is will be charging lower funding fees, to VA-eligible homebuyers, when issuing the VA mortgage guaranty.  Previously, Los Angeles veterans, looking to purchase their first home with no-money down, paid a 2.15% funding fee.  Last week, that funding fee was reduced to 1.40% of the loan amount. 

Veterans, who were using the VA mortgage for the second (or third, fourth, etc) time, used to pay a 3.30% funding fee for a VA zero-down home loan.  That fee has been reduced to 2.80%.

Los Angeles veterans, who choose to use a down payment when purchasing a home, can still use their VA home loan.  The new funding fee, for a 5% down payment, is now .75%.  The new funding fee, for a 10% down payment, is now .50%

A full chart of the new VA funding fee schedule is available on Brian Brady's Mortgage Rates Report.  Please direct any and all questions via telephone to (858)-777-9751

Opening Night Reception:  Saturday, June 11, 2011 from 7-10 pm

 
Opening at The Avenue 50 Studio is proud:  Democracy and Art, a visual conversation of the role of art in a democracy.  Thirty works were selected by curator, activist and art historian Carol A. Wells, who also serves as the founder and executive director of the Center for Study of Political Graphics.  Chosen artists address the shifting meanings of freedom and equality, censorship and civil liberties.  Using art as a vehicle for the discussion of political issues has a rich history, at times shrouded in censorship.  Please join us as 23 artists converse on questions of democracy.

 
Presented by:  The Southern California Women's Caucus for Art (SCWCA), one of 27 chapters of the Women's Caucus for Art, the leading national organization for women actively engaged in the visual arts. professions and an affiliated society of the College Art Association.

The Annex Presents:  Pages from a Bahía Diary

Images and text by J. Michael Walker.  Selected from a field of over 500 artists worldwide, J Michael Walker was one of seven chosen by the Sacatar Foundation to spend January-February 2011 on the jungle island of Itaparica, in Bahía, Brazil. Here, in the land of candomblé, under gorgeous skies and amid palpable spirits, he immersed himself in the local community, embraced by its warm, generous people.  Avenue 50 is proud to present the first public viewing of J Michael's impressions: the drawings, writings and photographs that record the strength, beauty, and soulfulness of Itaparica and its inhabitants.
