Can you can use your VA home loan benefits more than once?
Yes! You can re-use your entitlement multiple times, as long as you restore your eligibility. You can also have multiple VA loans at once as long as you have remaining entitlement. Your Guaranteed Rate VA loan specialist can explain the process.
Do VA loans have specific limits?
No. VA loans follow county loan limits just like Conventional and FHA loans. VA loans over the county loan limits require a 25% maximum VA loan calculation based on the difference between the county loan and your purchase price. VA Jumbo loans require a down payment lower than a traditional Jumbo loan and do not require mortgage insurance. Your Guaranteed Rate VA loan specialist has all the details.
