VA loan limits for 2017 have been released. Following suit with Conventional loans limits for 1-unit properties. Given the cost of housing in Denver and Colorado continue to increase it is no surprise to see VA loan limits going up. Denver is considered a high cost area which is why you will see loan limits higher in Denver than in El Paso county (for example). So if you are buying in a higher cost area, you will need to wait to close until after January 1st, 2017 for the higher VA loan limit to be accepted.

VA does not impose a maximum loan amount, rather a maximum amount they will guarantee. So above the VA loan limit the Veteran can borrow but may be required to make a down payment. Also remember that VA will allow you as a Veteran to use your VA loan to acquire a 1-4 unit property. Which can be a great way to offset your mortgage payment, through rent on the units you don’t live in. There are many other great benefits of using your hard-earned VA eligibility, for specific questions give us a call (303)-779-0591 to chat.
