New VA Loan and the VA Jumbo Loan (VA Loan Maximum Guarantee Amounts)

Due to current market conditions, we have temporarily suspended the VA Jumbo Loan program offering $0 down for loans greater than $417,000. In addition, our underwriter must evaluate each VA loan greater than $539,475 and may not be able to go higher amounts.

On October 10th, 2008, the President signed Public Law 110-389, the Veterans' Benefit Improvement Act of 2008. This law allows for $0 down payment loans in qualified counties to go up to $729,750 on loans closed through December 31st, 2011. For 2009, qualifying customers can now apply for a regular VA Loan with $0 down up to the VA Loan Maximum in qualified counties. To see the $0 Down amount for the single family home limit in your county, simply click on the applicable state.

Q: Definition of a VA Loan - What is a VA loan?

A: The VA loan began in 1944 through the original Servicemen's Readjustment Act, also known as the GI Bill of Rights. The GI Bill was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and provided veterans with a federally guaranteed home with no down payment. This feature was designed to provide housing and assistance for veterans and their families, and the dream of home ownership became a reality for millions of veterans. VA guaranteed loans are made by private lenders, such as banks, savings & loans, or mortgage companies to eligible veterans for the purchase of a home, which must be for their own personal occupancy. The guaranty means the lender is protected against loss if you or a later owner fails to repay the loan. The guaranty replaces the protection the lender normally receives by requiring a down payment allowing you to obtain favorable financing terms.
