The good news is that, so long as the purchase price does not exceed the amount the lender qualifies you to borrow. Although no set maximum loan amount is set by the VA, many lenders will not approve mortgage loan in excess of $417,000. This is because lenders typically sell VA loans in a secondary market, where the cap for a loan limit is $417,000.

First, contact your Realtor to ensure that the type VA home and transaction you are looking for can be put together. Next, connect to your lender of choice and ensure that you qualify for the loan you will need. Once you have reconciled the type of property and transaction with a mortgage loan you can live with, the lender will give you a pre-approval letter and you can get started with your home search Use the internet to find all the homes available out there. While your agent can pull these properties for you, you will be surprised how often you stumble upon something good when you are engaged in the research yourself. Try to view less than 7 properties per day and insist on not seeing more until you have thoroughly reviewed the ones seen already and eliminated most, if not all, from your list of potentials. Remember that you are only looking for one property so, once you find one that meets all the “must haves” on your list, ask the question, “Is there any reason I would not write an offer on this house?”The result should be that either you find a reason, which should effect your “must have” list, or that your would not, which should result in you writing an offer. Get the comparable sales so you understand neighborhood pricing before you make an offer. Try not to fall in love with a property before you actually close on the transaction. While almost anything can be worked out, it is best to stay objective until you own your new VA home. You can always ask, but don’t expect sellers to do things you wouldn’t. Working closely with your agent can be very helpful in the contract negotiation phase of the process. Make sure you clear time on your calendar for inspections and closing as soon as you have a ratified contract. Get all the issues worked out ahead of the closing date. You will be busy with your move by then, the best closing day, is one you barely remember.

The guide to the right is helpful for all home buying processes. Some things to remember about this type of VA home buying is that while the Veterans Administration does preclude some homes from the VA home buying program it is because of loan limits, rather than the actual property in almost every case. Because of this there are a few extra steps, that you might find helpful, listed below: You will need to request a Certificate of Eligibility for VA Home Loan Benefits – You can request a Certificate of Eligibility for VA home loan benefits by completing VA Form 26-1880 and submitting it to the VA Eligibility Center along with acceptable proof of service as described on the instruction page of the form.
