Did you know that it IS possible to get a loan over the County VA loan limit?
The basic formula is calculated by figuring the difference between the County limit and the purchase price. The required down payment is 25% of the above-limit amount.
For example, as of May 2014, the San Diego County VA loan limit is $546,250. You CAN get a loan for MORE THAN $546,250 and buy a higher priced home. Here's how it works:
Dream Home: $750,000
$750,000-$546,250 (San Diego VA loan limit) =$203,750
** 25% of $203,750 = $50,937.50
Down payment needed for "Jumbo" VA loan: $50,938 **
VA loan amount: $597,188 (before calculating and financing VA funding fee)
The Riverside VA loan limit is $417,000. The Orange County VA loan limit is $687,500. We can help you use your VA benefit to buy the home of your dreams! Yes, even if it is above the County VA loan limit!
