For purposes of determining the VA guaranty, lenders are instructed to reference only the One-Unit Limit column in the FHFA Table “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Maximum Loan Limits for Mortgages Acquired in Calendar Year 2017 and Originated after 10/1/2011 or before 7/1/2007”."

They can have a verbal lease or scribble on a napkinRealtors(not agents) are required to use the TAR lease unless instructed otherwise by their client.

So, I'd make friends with a title/escrow company officer ... email them the terms of the agreement and have them draw up escrow instructions that you both sign to open escrow.

@Jay Hinrichs   More and more people I know are actually picking up the wire instructions in person when ever possible. 

They would keep the money in escrow until purchase, and ensure the closing instructions (to draw up/record the note and mortgage).

Some are alleging inadequate management oversight by  the company, even though they are taking a fee to do so when some other platforms don't take a fee at all.BP does not allow me to post instructions to get to the in-depth review of them on my site  with more information.

However, I will advise the ask the same question, and based on your prudent advice, I will instruct them to ask for the statute number for verification, as well.  

You won't understand the market, have an array of go-to contractors, be able to estimate timelines, catch all of the hidden issues, budget extremely well, etc. on day one.  

I've heard that if you want to task something to a VA make a very detailed video with screen capture and instructions and test them before you hire them.
