100% Cash out Refinance - VA Enhancements

You read the headline correct: VA now allows 100% cash out refinances. VA refinances are no longer capped at 90% of your current appraised value. This change will allow Veterans, Active Duty Members & Reservists the option to refinance their non VA loans into safe, secure, fixed rate VA Loans. VA Loans have no MI or Mortgage Insurance.

Even better news: The previous limit of $144,000 on VA refinances has been lifted, and the limit is now the VA Loan limit for your county. Click here to see your limit: New VA loan limits for 2009 Blog Post .

The Entitlement and Guarantee equations have been adjusted slightly as well to facilitate Refinances over $144K as well. I will post some scenarios in a future blog to illustrate this.

We are very excited about the enhanced possibilities for our Veterans.

The maximum guaranty amount (available for loans over $144,000) is 25 percent of the 2009 VA Limit shown below. Therefore, a veteran with full entitlement available may borrow up to the 2009 VA Limit shown below and VA will guarantee 25 percent of the loan amount. If a veteran has previously used entitlement that has not been restored, the maximum guaranty amount available to that veteran must be reduced accordingly.
