I had written in a previous blog about calculating VA Jumbo Loan Down Payments entitled VA Jumbo Loans: Calculating the Down Payment .  There is good news regarding the "temporary" increase in the VA Mortgage Loan limits:  the VA's maximum guarantee remains unchanged through 12/31/2009 where the principal loan amount is $417,00 or less.  The VA will also continue through 12/31/2009 to guarantee 25 percent of the Freddie Mac conforming loan limit in the county in which the property is located, provided it is a single family home. 

This is according to the VA Circular 26-08-16, Dated September 5, 2008, from the Veterans Benefits Administration. 

This, of course, is good news to veterans looking to use their VA entitlement.

Michael,

Thanks so much for staying on top of the recent events. Most people don't associate VA with Jumbos but it can certainly be the best way to go.
