Just to clarify, I currently have a home under contract and have given my agent $1000 money order for earnest money. My current bank account balance is around $5k, and I am told that I will need about $400 (in addition to money the lender already has) for closing. Closing date is 5 days from now, and the lender calls to tell me that the VA needs to be able to verify the source of all money in my bank account that I paid the earnest money from and that the closing costs will be paid from.
Not that I am hiding anything, but the closing date is quickly approaching, and I have sent them a declaration to explain, including where money was transferred into my PayPal account. Now they want to see the statement of people who transferred the money to me (!?)
First question, why in the world do they need to know this? I did not use these deposits as "income" to get the loan approval, and the lender is saying that the loan was not granted based on this money. Second question: is this weird or normal?
