from what i understand using the va or going with a conventional loan are pretty much the same as far as money down.....for the va loan you still pay an administrative fee with is almost equivalent to a broker fee for the conventional, but you are more likely to be approved for the amount you ask for as long as you can afford it.


 


its a good thing they raised the va home loan cap to $417,000 cuz houses out here dont sell for less than $350,000. well in the areas that i would live in.


 


my .02 cents for now

oh aiight, im tracking now. i wonder how much does my debt to income ratio needs to be sitting at in order to  qualify for 260K+. You can get some great homes in VA for that amount.

well in order to qualify for for the va loan you need to submit some info to the VA. and attain a letter of eligibility in order to apply for the loan after that they approve you for a certain amount based on rank, income, and future military involvement, so if you plan on getting out dont plan on getting a hefty amount. then you go look for property and if it is a little more than they allowed you to get im sure they will re-submit your paperwork to get you approved.
