Kentucky VA Mortgage Loan Limits for 2021 for Kentucky Veterans

 New Kentucky VA Mortgage Loan Limits for 2021 for Kentucky Veterans

VA loans no longer have a maximum loan amount.

• Veterans, active-duty service members, National Guard members, and surviving spouses (those who qualify) will be able to get a VA home loan for any amount, with no required down payment.
• Income guidelines are still in place.
• With loan limits now gone you can borrow 100% of what you financially qualify for.
• Loan limits will still be applied if you have one or more active VA loans or if you’ve defaulted on a previous VA loan.
• Mortgage insurance is not needed..

 Funding Fees for VA Loans Are Not Going Away

Even with the loan limits going away, there is still an upfront funding fee for all VA loans (unless you are getting a VA home loan as an active-duty service member who’s received a Purple Heart). 2020 brought changes to these funding fees.

Here’s the updated funding fee percentages for VA loans:

To explain further, the fee for first-time use went up from 2.15% in 2019 to 2.30% in 2020. The fee for subsequent use went up from 3.3% in 2019 to 3.6% of the loan in 2020. These fees will stay in place until 2022, and you can choose to pay the funding fee up front or just roll it into the total cost of the home loan.

Additional VA Loan Benefits:

• You can reuse your VA mortgage benefits over and over
• You don’t have to be a first-time home buyer
• No pre-payment penalty so you’re free to consider future home purchases and refinancing options
• Can be used to buy a house, condo, newly-built home, and other types of properties
• Your eligibility never expires

Eligibility is based on specific guidelines established through the U.S. Department of Federal Affairs. These guidelines are typically based on service and discharge requirements.
