FinanceIntermediateColorado Exam

A Colorado homebuyer using a VA loan learns their lender is requiring a 'termite inspection' even though the VA does not mandate it in Colorado. The lender is:

AViolating VA loan guidelines
BExercising their own additional requirements, which lenders may do beyond VA minimumsCorrect
CRequired to waive this requirement upon request, though specifics can vary by situation
DDiscriminating against VA borrowers

Why Exercising their own additional requirements, which lenders may do beyond VA minimums Is Correct

Answer B: Exercising their own additional requirements, which lenders may do beyond VA minimums

While VA loan requirements set minimums, individual lenders (VA-approved lenders) may impose additional requirements (overlays) beyond VA minimums. Borrowers may be able to find a different VA lender with fewer overlays.
