VA Loan - Not able to show cancelled checks or bank statements

Not sure why rent verification is required. What are your credit scores?

There are a couple ways to work around the VOR (verification of rent. ) from what you have explained there seem to be a couple options. It was kind of vague, is the home in CO. Or MI.? Feel free to contact me via email, text or phone. Dfavorloans@gmail.com or (248)821-4100Thanks , Dan Favor

Different lenders have different verification requirements. In most cases VA does not require rental verification. I would love to help you with your mortgage, call me at 734-395-9027. Jack Cyrul

VA loans, like conventional and FHA are run through a automated underwriting engine called DU before going to an underwriter. If the DU findings do not ask for the rental history then it's not required. Even if the DU findings say a VOR is not required, many lenders have what's called underwriting overlays where they want the VOR no matter what! My primary lender goes off the DU findings. The DU finding are based on your overall credit risk and very from borrower to borrower!

More info needed, and unfortunately, they will not accept a letter from your parents.. Everything the underwriter asks for must come from a verifiable source,, and a letter from your parents is not really verifiable.. This is why canceled checks, or 12 months statements showing the transfers are the only acceptable form.. . and through your own admission, your parents makes the payment, so if they did write a letter it would be a false statement.. (which is why lenders do accept letters like this).. The short is that it's quite possible your loan officer can get this condition waived.. however, if your file had to be manually underwritten because of low credit scores or limited credit,, then you will probably need a cosigner..

Typically proof of rent is NOT required in 95% of cases. The only reason that would be required is if the overall file is very weak, and the lender needs to do a manual underwrite of the file, versus a computerized underwrite. My first suggestion is to ask the lender if this is a manual underwrite. If they say no, contact a second VA lender. Finally, proof must always be 'third party', like YOUR bank statements or YOUR cancelled checks. So nothing from your parents would work.
