GENERAL VA LOAN FACTS

If you can’t find the answer to a question you have, please don’t hesitate to call or email us.

You can purchase a home with zero down payment.

Most Bay Area Counties have a loan limit of $679,650. You can borrow up to this amount with a zero down payment! Anything over this amount will require a small down payment. For example: If you buy a $1 MM home your down payment is 25% of the difference between the purchase price and the county limit.

$1,000,000 – $679,650 = $320,350 x 25% = $80,087.50

For a million dollar home, you only have to put about an 8% down payment! For a full list of California loan limits, click here.
