Wholesale deal with VA financing

[Joe L.]

I came across a deal from a wholesaler and would like to close using my VA benefits (VA mortgage). From what I understand the assignment fee would be a non-allowable closing cost. I would like to roll the assignment fee into the loan.

I’m looking for recommendations on structuring the deal. Should the seller pay the assignment fee if I include it in the sale price? All things considered it should appraise as well.

In the meantime I’m waiting to hear back from the title company. Thanks!
