Federal VA Loan

The Federal VA loan is a $0 down mortgage option available to Veterans, Service Members and select military spouses. VA loans are issued by private lenders, such as a mortgage company or bank, and guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). In Oregon & Washington, the standard VA loan cap is $510,400.

VA Jumbo Loan

A VA Jumbo Loan is a loan that is over the Fannie Mae conforming loan limit of $510,400. This loan may or may not require a down payment. Each loan is determined on a case-by-case basis. Down payments are usually much lower than a standard jumbo loan.

Among the requirements for jumbo loans are a need for liquid asset reserves (cash reserves).

VA Funding Fee

The VA Funding Fee goes directly to the VA to ensure the program keeps running for future generations of military homebuyers by removing any additional burdens off tax payers and veterans.

VA borrowers can roll the funding fee into their overall loan amount. The VA also limits closing costs for veterans and allows sellers to pay most or all of those expenses. Many of our borrowers purchase a home with no money due at closing.
