VA Mortgage Loan Changes Began In January 2015
(PRWEB) February 10, 2015 -- The Veterans Administration (VA) home loans are changing beginning in January 2015. VA's 2015 Loan Limits are the same as the Federal Housing Finance Agency's limits. They are now only the size allowed for those guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (GSEs). Therefore, VA loan limits matching the Government-Sponsored Enterprises or GSEs will have a $625,500 maximum loan cap for single-family homes located in the lower continental 48 states. To view a complete list of the California 2015 FHA loan limits visit the Federal Housing Finance Agency's webpage. To find out about VA home loans in San Diego California speak with a licensed mortgage specialist at (858) 999-3737.
These are only limits on the amount of liability the VA can assume and only apply to the amount of money an institution can lend. Many veterans get a VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan (IRRRL) to refinance a property on which they've already used their VA loan eligibility in order to reduce the interest. With an IRRRL, no certificate of eligibility is required as that has already been completed. All that will be required by the lender is the VA’s e-mail confirmation procedure instead of a certificate of eligibility.
The IRRRL may be completed with "no money out of pocket". That includes all costs in the new loan or by the lender making the new loan at an interest rate high enough to pay the costs. This is because the interest rate on the new IRRRL loan must be lower than the rate on the old loan. National Guard or Reserve Military Veterans may pay a slightly higher funding fee percentage. The new FHA loan limits for San Diego is slightly higher from 2014, the new FHA loan limit for San Diego County is $562,350.
Another point that IRRRL loan applicants must be aware of is that the occupancy requirement for the IRRRL loan is different from other VA loans. For the IRRRL one needs only to certify that they previously occupied the home.While some lenders may make predatory advances stating they are the ONLY lender that may proffer an IRRRL. Veterans need to know that any lender may make an IRRRL.
