VA loan limits in Arizona
Your VA loan entitlement affects how the VA guarantees your loan. The right amount for your purchase also depends on your lender's approval, the property, and your finances.
If you have full entitlement
The VA says it does not impose a loan limit for borrowers with full entitlement. That does not mean an unlimited approval: your lender still reviews your income, credit, debts and other factors, and the property must meet applicable appraisal requirements.
If you have remaining entitlement
If some entitlement is still tied to a previous VA loan, the conforming loan limit for the county where you buy helps determine the VA guaranty available. Depending on your entitlement and loan amount, your lender may require a down payment. County limits change, so ask your lender to use the current limit and your Certificate of Eligibility rather than relying on an older figure.
What to ask before shopping
- Does my Certificate of Eligibility show full or remaining entitlement?
- What purchase price and payment fit my pre-approval, including closing costs?
- Would my circumstances require a down payment, and can previous entitlement be restored?
Start with the VA's explanation of entitlement and loan limits and its Certificate of Eligibility guide. A qualified lender can explain the numbers for your situation.
