If you're looking for a VA guaranteed loan, you may be curious about the maximum amount you are entitled to borrow. Some borrowers are surprised to learn there is no fixed VA loan maximum. However, the VA's guaranty only extends up to a specific figure.
There is no maximum amount you can borrow with a VA loan. Eligible borrowers with full VA entitlement can buy as much as they can afford without needing a down payment.
The words to key in on from the sentence above are "full VA entitlement." The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) guidelines restrict VA buyers without full VA entitlement to follow the VA loan limits.
Keep in mind, VA loan limits aren't a max on what you can borrow. You can still borrow as much as a lender deems affordable. However, VA loan limits are a max on what you can buy without a down payment.
The current maximum guarantee authorized by the VA in most parts of the country is $766,550. VA loan limits increase based on the area. In certain high-cost counties, VA loan limits can exceed $1,149,825.
You can find a complete list of VA loan limits by state and county below.
