Max VA Loan Using Bonus Entitlement

What loan amount can a VA borrower qualify for when using their bonus entitlement?  Great Question!

Arizona VA Mortgage lenders require the VA insures 25% of a VA loan.  In other words, the VA must guaranty a dollar amount equal to 25% of the veteran’s new home loan amount.  VA determines their guaranty based on a County’s maximum Conforming Loan limit.

There is no complex formula here.  Veteran’s must borrow at least $144,001 on a VA loan when using bonus entitlement.  It is that simple!
