As Veterans and Servicemembers, you have worked hard for our country and when you’re ready to embark upon or continue your homeownership journey, American Pacific Mortgage is happy to be able to give back to you through our VA Loans. You don’t want to miss taking advantage of all the benefits these loans have for you! In addition to flexible and lenient qualifying guidelines, other benefits include 100% financing when qualified and no mortgage insurance requirements.

The 2019 loan limits for VA loans are the same as the FHFA limits. With these limits, you may be wondering what to do when you live in an area where home prices are higher or if the home you want is priced above the current limits. Are there VA jumbo loans? Yes, there are!

What is a VA Jumbo Loan?

A VA Jumbo loan is similar to a standard VA loan, but with higher loan limits available. This means that you can apply for loans exceeding the 2019 standard limit of $484,350, up to $1.5 Million. In high cost areas, loan limits start out at a higher amount. Now you don’t have to miss out on VA loan benefits just because the home you want to purchase has a higher price.

Benefits of a VA Jumbo Loan

In addition to the ability to get a VA loan for a higher-priced home, a VA jumbo loan offers the following benefits:

  • Flexible and lenient qualifying guidelines

  • 100% financing available, if qualified

  • No mortgage insurance requirement

  • Funding fee may be financed

How to Qualify

Who qualifies for a VA jumbo loan? Veterans, actively serving military personnel, and surviving spouses of veterans may qualify for VA jumbo loans. Our loan advisors can help you determine if you meet the qualifications of suitable credit, adequate income, and a valid Certificate of Eligibility.
