  1. How Loan Entitlement Affects VA Loan Limits? VA loan entitlement is the amount the US Department of Veterans Affairs guarantee for VA loans, burrowed by an applicant using no down payment option. These enables private lenders to provide mortgages at even lower interest rates. However, if you already have an existing VA loan or have used your loan entitlement, you might be subjected to certain VA loan limits. You have full entitlement if any ONE of the following conditions are true- 1.You have never used VA home loan benefits before, OR 2.You have fully-paid your previous loan and have sold the property, OR 3.You have used home loan benefits but had a foreclosure claim and repaid the VA fully. CAN AN APPLICANT BORROW ANY AMOUNT WITH FULL ENTITLEMENT? No, an applicant cannot buy whatever amount he/she desires. The loan amount depends upon various factors like credit

  2. history, income, debt-to-income ratio and the home’s price. Before closing, the VA will also conduct a VA appraisal, determining the right price for your chosen property. However, if the desired amount matched the estimated amount of VA loan appraisals, you will be eligible to borrow that amount without any down payment. PARTIAL ENTITLEMENT AND VA LOAN LIMITS An applicant with partial entitlement will be subjected to VA loan limits depending upon the county they live in. You might have partial entitlement if either of the following conditions is true- 1.You are still paying off an existing VA loan, OR 2.You have fully paid the loan and still own the home, OR 3.You refinanced your VA-loan into a non-VA loan and still own the house, OR 4.You had a compromise/foreclosure claim and haven’t paid back the loan yet, OR CAN VA LOAN LIMITS DETERMINE LOAN AMOUNT? VA limits refer to the maximum amount one can borrow with $0 down payment options. However, if you want to purchase a property that exceeds your loan limits, you can pay the extra as

  3. a down payment. Moreover, by paying the extra as a down payment, you might be able to borrow more than your county’s loan limit. However, loan amount entirely depends upon an applicant’s- Credit score Financial condition Debt-to-income ratio Residual income Existing assets HOW TO FIND OUT YOUR ENTITLEMENT? Your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) will clearly state your loan entitlement as “This Veteran’s basic entitlement is $______”. If the amount is $36,000, it means that you have full entitlement and will not be subjected to any VA loan limits. However, if it is less than $36,000 but more than $0, you have partial entitlement. This means that you can still reap some of your remaining benefits. If your COE states that “This Veteran’s basic entitlement is $0”, you have no entitlement and will be subjected to limits.
