Puyallup mortgage questions
- Is a VA offer weaker than conventional in Puyallup?
- It shouldn't be. A VA offer backed by an underwritten approval and a 15-day-or-less close competes on the terms sellers actually care about.

- The determination is part of every file; I can also check an address before you offer so the insurance cost isn't a surprise.
