Maxed out my va loans. Bought 1st home in 2013 for 248k. Rented out and bought 2nd in 2020 for 320k using remainder. was able to refi this home conventional as rental in jan 2022 before rates shot up. This freed up my VA loan again. Rented 2nd house out with 1 yr lease so i qualified for 3rd VA house that closed on in March of 2022 for 465k and 3 percent rate. I put 0 down on first 1 and 5% down on the 2nd two. As a vet with no disability you save a fortune on the VA funding fee by putting 5% down. took the funding fee from 3.6% to 1.65% of purchase price. VA told me that i am all maxed out on using VA loans now unless i were to sell all 3 homes. I have 3 single family homes now all with interest rates of 3 percent or less with a total value of 1.1 million dollars and mortgages totaling 900+k. plan on paying these mortgages for next 30 years and not sell. I make 65k a year and a 2.0 gpa high school education. Haven't even touched the gi bill yet. This is why I try to convince anyone who doesn't know what they want to do after high school to do 4 years in the military. Benefits and a (tech job in air force) set me up for life.
Hi I just used my VA loan to purchase a $517,900 home in Houston, we will more than likely stay in a year and then rent the place out. Also the close was exactly 30 days great benefit for veterans
Hi Shannon! Semper Fi - there is no true 'cap' on a VA Loan. However, there may be a max amount of entitlement that the Vet has remaining which means that they can only go up to X. But if a Veteran has full guarantee they can go as high as they'd like so long as they qualify by way of income and credit. JV
Holy crap! I didn't know about this either! Bought my house with VA loan 2 years ago. Been thinking of moving to a different area. Didnt know i could use my current house as a rental.

Thanks for the video Jimmy. I have some questions. I currently have VA loan 451k renting it out. Looking to buy another property for 580k, I'm located in Colorado. Trying to understand entitlement thing. I only have 97k left on entitlement. Would it be possible I can purchase new one for 580k and pay the difference of 25k down payment which would be 145k down payment? Or would you recommend I refinance my current VA home to conventional to free up my entitlement? For current VA loan I'm in the processing getting LLC done and want to know if it's okay to transfer title to LLC. Heard they can call loan due. Also in the process of getting trust done my LLC can go to the trust. Assuming I can quitclaim the deed into an LLC after closing. Looking through most of comments my other questions got answered. For my next property I would like to go through your lender. Thank you for your time.
Thanks for the question Chris. I think it would be best for us to schedule a consult to speak about your scneario in greater detail. You can reach out to me by going to www.VALoansForVets.com
Great info thanks for sharing. Question: As a disabled vet, do I get the funding waived on subsequent va loans? Assuming all previous loans have been paid off at time of sale of course.
I'm in the processing to buy a home. I am in 7 month in on my contract, I apply for a VA pre approval loan and went tho.. even tho I'm not 1year in, does that matter? I hear people saying you need to be 1 year in to get VA LOAN however my realtor and loan officer didn't say anything about it? should I look into it?
Hi great video and very informative I am wondering about the comparison though. I've been hearing that even though VA loans don't require a down-payment, why is it considered better if someone else puts in an offer with a down payment? Isn't that basically the same thing, the seller will the money for the home regardless. Semper - Doc
Thanks Doc! Yut Yut!! Keep in mind that just because somebody is opting to put money down does not make them more qualified per-say. Veterans are entitled to no money down loans and may still be able to (if they choose to do so) put money down on the loan. A good mortgage loan originator will call on your behalf to the listing agent when you submit an offer on the home to discuss your ability to qualify for the loan. Sometimes this will be the difference between the seller choosing your offer or somebody else’s.
Can the VA loan office cover a loan on a tiny home in St.petersburger fla on a lot that also has a house. It would be a mother in law suite? Would like to know how and who to talk to about this. Thank You
Hello, it depends on the loan amount and how much entitlement you have remaining. To determine that we would need to pull a copy of your COE and I can advise you from there. Regarding closing costs I would estimate roughly 3% of the purchase price would be needed at closing for the total costs in conjunction with the aquisition of the home.
If you are using VA loan properties as rental units how are you transferring the loan or the property title to an LLC to limit liability on a residential (4 unit) property? Also...if you can, should you do an LLC for each separate unit or 1 for all 4 units?
Good question. A Veteran must purchase a home in their name alone. They can then transfer title into the name of the LLC if they choose. Regarding your last question I would say it would be wise to enlist the help of a cpa to answer that question for you.
Thank you so much for that great info. However my question is what if I want the opposite situation where I have a VA loan for my primary home already but I want to use a VA loan to purchase another home that I want to rent up. Can I do that or what would be the best strategy. Thanks for your time and please let me know if we can set up a phone call.
Hi there, that's a negative. It must be your primary residence when purchasing a new home. You can only rent out the home you lived in for at least 1year then go buy another primary.
Can you refinance a VA loan and change the loan to another type like conventional for example.Then be able to use your VA loan as if its brand new. In NJ its easy to have nearly the entire 548K tied up in the mortgage. I am probably going to do a cash out refinance but I'm always interested in VA loan strategies for obtaining a second investment property.
Hi Wes - you most certainly could. Remember: VA has no min loan limit so once you free up your entitlement you’ve got clearance to go up to any purchase price with no money down that you qualify for. Thanks!
I am trying to understand the VA home loan process a little better as I am not educated enough on this. thankn you for this info but unfortunately I am looking for how to get approved while working on debt. but still not understaanding what the mortgage lending process is about. thank you
Hello we’re having a house built in Texas and plan on using my husbands VA loan. We originally signed a pre approval for 3.7 interest on a 319k home and planned on mortgage payments being around 1889.00 a month but now am afraid we won’t be able to get the home due to rising interest rates. Are there any programs that can help veterans with assistance to bring the payments to a budget we can afford. I’m assuming payments will be around 2550.00 a month or more with interest rates rising. I’m so bummed. 😔
Hi Sheila, have you considered the Texas Vet loan? Those rates are below market and could be a possible solution. Please email me for more info at jimmy@valoansforvets.com
Great information brother, thank you 🙏 quick question. If I currently have a VA Loan in Pennsylvania but will be relocating to Texas next year, could I built a home in Texas using a 2nd VA loan? While my house in PA sales?
HI! Yes - I don't see why that would be an issue for you so long as you have full entitlement and the amount you are looking to finance does not exceed that amount. If it did you would need to come in with a down payment. To learn more you can visit my website at www.VALoansForVets.com
I used my VA loan to purchase a fourplex. I used $645k of the $981k entitlement. I was trying to find out if I can use the reminder to purchase another fourplex and it looks like I can as long as I put 25% down on the difference in the home price and remaining entitlement.
In the scenario you describe below you would not have any VA entitlement leftover to use on the next home. Reason being is you exhausted the entitlement and no longer have any remaining. In order to use VA loan for next purchase you would need to refi the 4 plex and take it out of the VA Loan.
@@JimmyVercellino Thanks for replying. If the entitlement is $981,700 and I only used $645,000, why wouldn't I be able to use the remaining? To my understanding, the entitlement of $548,250 is only for single-family. Entitlements for duplex is $653,550, triplex is $789,950, and fourplex is $981,700. Are they not able to be fully used?
I’m actually highly considering using my VA loan to buy a 4plex in the beginning of next year. Could I get with you off line to pick your brain a bit about that?
@@BravoBline Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm super confused too. These videos say you can buy another home on the VA loan at the same time, but why does this case not count? Would you have 336k left of entitlement? Or does it always calculate from the base of 548?
What if your primary home (home A) is above the $548K cap and you want to move to the bigger home B. Can you still use the second VA loan at the same time?
Really good question Daniel -- in this example you mention you would NOT have any VA Loan entitlement remaining. You would need to refinance your existing VA Loan into a conventional loan.
You would need to have a legitimate reason for moving in less than 1 year. If you'd like to discuss in greater detail I'm happy to discuss jimmy@valoansforvets.com
My family and I just purchased with a VA loan about 6 months ago and are thinking we should downsize for personal reasons. However the VA has a one year occupancy requirement from what I understand. Are we able to qualify for a second VA loan prior to fulfilling the one year occupancy stipulation on our current home to build a smaller home that will be completely built shortly after we we meet the one year occupancy requirement? We would like to rent out our current home and intend to occupy it later. When we initially purchase this home we were planning on growing our family however things have recently changed. Would appreciate your input.
Hi Tom, IMO this would ultimately be a UW discretion call. Perhaps we could take this offline and I could learn a little bit more about your scenario and I could take it directly to the VA. Feel free to email me direct at jimmy@valoansforvets.com
My husband is a Navy Veteran and we had a home built via VA loan, in 2017 in NC for $218,000 now our house is worth $355,000. We want to down grade but the market for a newly built smaller home in NC is about $285,000. What would you do?
I would apply for a new VA Loan and take advantage of 100% financing (if that's what you wanted to do) up to the $285,000 purchase price. The VA would guarantee both mortgages because the numbers have now gone up for conforming loan amounts to $647,200 so that means as long as your VA Loans are less than that amount ($647K) you could finance both mortgages with no money down. To learn more you can visit my website at www.VALoansForVets.com
My husband and I have learned that not all VA loans are equal. Depends on the mortgage company/bank you use!! We made a massive mistake using the one we did. They have lied to us about so many things that I have learned about in the last year and a half since we bought our home! Ready to give up the home and throw the towel in on dealing with these company!
So here is a question? If I can have 2 VA loans out on a home, and I rent the one home to another individual, but that home is still in my name, and I go buy another home with a VA loan, doesn’t the county only give me a tax abatement on 1 home, not 2?
Hey there, so I bought a house on a VA loan with ocean views in a tourist area and can get quite a bit of income from AirBNB. I was thinking of renting out the main floor that has a separate entrance while living in the main house on the top two floors. Do I have to wait a year to do this or can I start doing it right away? Also, after 1 year of living in this home could I also do airbnb on both the main area and downstairs if I buy another home? Would the lender see this airbnb rental income and not include this against DTI or would I need to convert this house to a rental property first?
Hi Jimmy, thanks for the info. I’m looking to build a 1-4 unit in MN using my VA entitlement. I currently have one rental and my primary that both use my entitlement now. I’d be looking to sell those and build this new construction to live in one unit and rent the others. I’ve only been a landlord for 6 months also. Can you help me get lending, or point me to a lender that could help me? Thx!
Hey Jimmy I have a question. I have Federal Student debt that I am working on to bring current to close on a VA loan. When I log into the website to make payments it says none are needed I am Assuming since Biden extended the student loan forgiveness. If I am currently making payments each month would I be able to bring my student loan to current even though no payments are needed? Would I be able to purchase a home when my student loan may be current but not being reported to CAVIRS due to The loan forgiveness? Thanks for any advice.
Hi Cyber, I'm not sure I can give you a definitive answer on that. However, if you can show on a VA Loan that the payments will deferred for 12 months you can omit them from the scenario
Hi Jo Anne - the VA Loan will allow to qualify in as little as 1 year after after filing for a chapter 13. That said the lender will need to verify that the veterans income is sufficient to pay all liabilities and new monthly mortgage payment.
Question, so would I still qualify for a home loan if I have an eviction on my record? I'm currently behind on rent but I'm still staying in the apartment but making payments to the court since I appealed the eviction.
Hello, in that instance you would have exausted all of your entitlement. You would need to refinance or sell the VA Loan in order to free up your entitlment.
Hey Jimmy thanks for the video. Quick question: Can a veteran based in TX who currently has conventional cash out loan (took cash out 12 months back) do a rate and term refinance to a VA loan?
This video is about 3 years old so today the numbers would be different and potentially allow you to finance more with less of a down payment or without. Thank you!

Can you do the opposite of this and buy a rental property after buying a primary residence and staying in the primary?
Negative sir!
What great information!
Thank you Katrina!!
Cool video
Thx!!
Dude thanks!
Dude...my pleasure!
Can you use a VA loan to buy a property outside of the US for example, Portugal or Spain? Is that possible!??
I wish! That would be amazing!
I'm in the processing to buy a home. I am in 7 month in on my contract, I apply for a VA pre approval loan and went tho.. even tho I'm not 1year in, does that matter? I hear people saying you need to be 1 year in to get VA LOAN however my realtor and loan officer didn't say anything about it? should I look into it?
I think you're good. Minimum 90 days for active duty to be eligible for a VA Loan.
Hi great video and very informative
I am wondering about the comparison though. I've been hearing that even though VA loans don't require a down-payment, why is it considered better if someone else puts in an offer with a down payment? Isn't that basically the same thing, the seller will the money for the home regardless.
Semper
- Doc
Thanks Doc! Yut Yut!! Keep in mind that just because somebody is opting to put money down does not make them more qualified per-say. Veterans are entitled to no money down loans and may still be able to (if they choose to do so) put money down on the loan. A good mortgage loan originator will call on your behalf to the listing agent when you submit an offer on the home to discuss your ability to qualify for the loan. Sometimes this will be the difference between the seller choosing your offer or somebody else’s.
Can the VA loan office cover a loan on a tiny home in St.petersburger fla on a lot that also has a house. It would be a mother in law suite? Would like to know how and who to talk to about this. Thank You
To my knowledge that is not something that the VA would allow you to do.
What’s the minimum down payment on the second VA loan? And what about closing costs?
Hello, it depends on the loan amount and how much entitlement you have remaining. To determine that we would need to pull a copy of your COE and I can advise you from there. Regarding closing costs I would estimate roughly 3% of the purchase price would be needed at closing for the total costs in conjunction with the aquisition of the home.
If you are using VA loan properties as rental units how are you transferring the loan or the property title to an LLC to limit liability on a residential (4 unit) property?
Also...if you can, should you do an LLC for each separate unit or 1 for all 4 units?
Good question. A Veteran must purchase a home in their name alone. They can then transfer title into the name of the LLC if they choose. Regarding your last question I would say it would be wise to enlist the help of a cpa to answer that question for you.
Do you have to keep the first house as a rental or can you sell the first house off after you buy the second home??
You could absolutley sell the first house after you aquire the new home.
Hi Jimmy. Great video thank you! Do you know anything about a Dream Weaver VA loan?
Tell me more. I do not.
Oh sorry. Ive only heard of it. I dont know much about it. I was hoping youll have some info on it.
Thank you so much for that great info. However my question is what if I want the opposite situation where I have a VA loan for my primary home already but I want to use a VA loan to purchase another home that I want to rent up. Can I do that or what would be the best strategy. Thanks for your time and please let me know if we can set up a phone call.
Hi there, that's a negative. It must be your primary residence when purchasing a new home. You can only rent out the home you lived in for at least 1year then go buy another primary.
Can you refinance a VA loan and change the loan to another type like conventional for example.Then be able to use your VA loan as if its brand new. In NJ its easy to have nearly the entire 548K tied up in the mortgage. I am probably going to do a cash out refinance but I'm always interested in VA loan strategies for obtaining a second investment property.
Hi Wes - you most certainly could. Remember: VA has no min loan limit so once you free up your entitlement you’ve got clearance to go up to any purchase price with no money down that you qualify for. Thanks!
I am trying to understand the VA home loan process a little better as I am not educated enough on this. thankn you for this info but unfortunately I am looking for how to get approved while working on debt. but still not understaanding what the mortgage lending process is about. thank you
Hello Angelina, I suggest you watch more of my videos. If there is a specific question that I can answer for you please let me know. -- Thanks!
@@JimmyVercellino thank you will do!
Hello we’re having a house built in Texas and plan on using my husbands VA loan. We originally signed a pre approval for 3.7 interest on a 319k home and planned on mortgage payments being around 1889.00 a month but now am afraid we won’t be able to get the home due to rising interest rates. Are there any programs that can help veterans with assistance to bring the payments to a budget we can afford. I’m assuming payments will be around 2550.00 a month or more with interest rates rising. I’m so bummed. 😔
Hi Sheila, have you considered the Texas Vet loan? Those rates are below market and could be a possible solution. Please email me for more info at jimmy@valoansforvets.com
Wow never knew this
Thanks for watching!
i WANT TO LEARN MORE
Keep watching!
Does that limit include “high cost areas “ like Southern California, New York City, etc?
great question Drew -- it does not. Those areas you could go higher than my example.
Great information brother, thank you 🙏 quick question. If I currently have a VA Loan in Pennsylvania but will be relocating to Texas next year, could I built a home in Texas using a 2nd VA loan? While my house in PA sales?
HI! Yes - I don't see why that would be an issue for you so long as you have full entitlement and the amount you are looking to finance does not exceed that amount. If it did you would need to come in with a down payment. To learn more you can visit my website at www.VALoansForVets.com
@@JimmyVercellino how would I know if I have full entitlement?
I used my VA loan to purchase a fourplex. I used $645k of the $981k entitlement. I was trying to find out if I can use the reminder to purchase another fourplex and it looks like I can as long as I put 25% down on the difference in the home price and remaining entitlement.
In the scenario you describe below you would not have any VA entitlement leftover to use on the next home. Reason being is you exhausted the entitlement and no longer have any remaining. In order to use VA loan for next purchase you would need to refi the 4 plex and take it out of the VA Loan.
@@JimmyVercellino Thanks for replying. If the entitlement is $981,700 and I only used $645,000, why wouldn't I be able to use the remaining? To my understanding, the entitlement of $548,250 is only for single-family. Entitlements for duplex is $653,550, triplex is $789,950, and fourplex is $981,700. Are they not able to be fully used?
@@BravoBline How did you get approved for 981k? Is there a certain income amount you need to make to get approved for that?
I’m actually highly considering using my VA loan to buy a 4plex in the beginning of next year. Could I get with you off line to pick your brain a bit about that?
@@BravoBline Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm super confused too. These videos say you can buy another home on the VA loan at the same time, but why does this case not count? Would you have 336k left of entitlement? Or does it always calculate from the base of 548?
$647,200 limit and $970,800 in high cost counties as of 2022🇺🇸
Spot-on sir. When I shot this video the loan limits were lower.
Great stuff!
Thank you Adrian!
What if your primary home (home A) is above the $548K cap and you want to move to the bigger home B. Can you still use the second VA loan at the same time?
Really good question Daniel -- in this example you mention you would NOT have any VA Loan entitlement remaining. You would need to refinance your existing VA Loan into a conventional loan.
Is there a loophole to be able to rent your new va home before the 1 year occupancy rule?
You would need to have a legitimate reason for moving in less than 1 year. If you'd like to discuss in greater detail I'm happy to discuss jimmy@valoansforvets.com
So you don’t have to convert your original property to a conventional loan?
That's correct.
My family and I just purchased with a VA loan about 6 months ago and are thinking we should downsize for personal reasons. However the VA has a one year occupancy requirement from what I understand. Are we able to qualify for a second VA loan prior to fulfilling the one year occupancy stipulation on our current home to build a smaller home that will be completely built shortly after we we meet the one year occupancy requirement? We would like to rent out our current home and intend to occupy it later. When we initially purchase this home we were planning on growing our family however things have recently changed. Would appreciate your input.
Hi Tom, IMO this would ultimately be a UW discretion call. Perhaps we could take this offline and I could learn a little bit more about your scenario and I could take it directly to the VA. Feel free to email me direct at jimmy@valoansforvets.com
My husband is a Navy Veteran and we had a home built via VA loan, in 2017 in NC for $218,000 now our house is worth $355,000. We want to down grade but the market for a newly built smaller home in NC is about $285,000. What would you do?
I would apply for a new VA Loan and take advantage of 100% financing (if that's what you wanted to do) up to the $285,000 purchase price. The VA would guarantee both mortgages because the numbers have now gone up for conforming loan amounts to $647,200 so that means as long as your VA Loans are less than that amount ($647K) you could finance both mortgages with no money down.

Ooh Rah!! Thank You!!
Yes sir!! Semper Fi!!
My husband and I have learned that not all VA loans are equal. Depends on the mortgage company/bank you use!! We made a massive mistake using the one we did. They have lied to us about so many things that I have learned about in the last year and a half since we bought our home! Ready to give up the home and throw the towel in on dealing with these company!
Hi Michelle, I completley agree. Which is why I always suggest that Veterans work with somebody who specializes in VA Loans.
Can I co-sign on a VA loan with my father who is a Veteran.
Yes, however you’ll be required to come in with a 12.5% down payment.
What if I purchase in another state? (I.e-Texas to California)
Same rules would apply sir. However, you may be able to finance more if it's deemed a high cost county.
So here is a question? If I can have 2 VA loans out on a home, and I rent the one home to another individual, but that home is still in my name, and I go buy another home with a VA loan, doesn’t the county only give me a tax abatement on 1 home, not 2?
That's a good question. I would agree with you. County probably won't give you an exemption on anything other than your primary.
Hey there, so I bought a house on a VA loan with ocean views in a tourist area and can get quite a bit of income from AirBNB. I was thinking of renting out the main floor that has a separate entrance while living in the main house on the top two floors. Do I have to wait a year to do this or can I start doing it right away? Also, after 1 year of living in this home could I also do airbnb on both the main area and downstairs if I buy another home? Would the lender see this airbnb rental income and not include this against DTI or would I need to convert this house to a rental property first?
Hi there -- Thanks for shooting me an email. I answered it this morning. Thank you!
How do I use my VA loan to build a house on property I already own?
That's called a VA reno loan. I have a vid on that too ;-) check it out.
Hi Jimmy, thanks for the info. I’m looking to build a 1-4 unit in MN using my VA entitlement. I currently have one rental and my primary that both use my entitlement now. I’d be looking to sell those and build this new construction to live in one unit and rent the others. I’ve only been a landlord for 6 months also. Can you help me get lending, or point me to a lender that could help me? Thx!
certainly Richard. Shoot me an email at jimmy@valoansforvets.com and I can point you in the right direction.
If I google VA loan by county, it says the max is much higher. Closer to $700k. Can you tell me what’s with the county max?
You’re spot in sir. This is an old video so loan limits (in most counties) are now 726,200
Hey Jimmy I have a question. I have Federal Student debt that I am working on to bring current to close on a VA loan. When I log into the website to make payments it says none are needed I am Assuming since Biden extended the student loan forgiveness. If I am currently making payments each month would I be able to bring my student loan to current even though no payments are needed? Would I be able to purchase a home when my student loan may be current but not being reported to CAVIRS due to
The loan forgiveness? Thanks for any advice.
Hi Cyber, I'm not sure I can give you a definitive answer on that. However, if you can show on a VA Loan that the payments will deferred for 12 months you can omit them from the scenario
I'm a Vet, in Chapter 13, discharging in March. But I do have a 653, and now income. My haven't had much help. Are there any programs that will work?
Hi Jo Anne - the VA Loan will allow to qualify in as little as 1 year after after filing for a chapter 13. That said the lender will need to verify that the veterans income is sufficient to pay all liabilities and new monthly mortgage payment.
Question, so would I still qualify for a home loan if I have an eviction on my record? I'm currently behind on rent but I'm still staying in the apartment but making payments to the court since I appealed the eviction.
Hi Shaun, that would depend on how it's being reported on your credit sir.
What if you financed a home more than 548,250 what is the cap, is it the finance amount?
Hello, in that instance you would have exausted all of your entitlement. You would need to refinance or sell the VA Loan in order to free up your entitlment.
I've been out of the service for years....how do I access my VA home loan so that I can utilize it?
Very simple. Go to www.VALoansForVets.com/apply to start the process.
@@JimmyVercellino Thank you!!!
Can I use my loan to get a 4 bdr house and rent out the other 3 rooms? I will still live there.
Hey Michael - you could absolutely do that. I like where your heads at #CashFlow - Jimmy
www.VALoansForVets.com
if I'm approved for 110k and I find a house
under 110k can I use the extra to renovate/upgrade the house
Hi Chief -- afraid not. VA will only allow you to borrow what the home is appraised for.
@@JimmyVercellino rgr
Hey Jimmy thanks for the video. Quick question: Can a veteran based in TX who currently has conventional cash out loan (took cash out 12 months back) do a rate and term refinance to a VA loan?
Greater Good - yes, 100%. Let me know if I can help out in any other way --- jimmy@valoansforvets.com
If you’re asking about an IRRRL from conventional to VA, then the answer is no.
Why couldn’t you just try to finance for the $448K? Meaning increase the cap instead putting a down payment on the extra $100K?
This video is about 3 years old so today the numbers would be different and potentially allow you to finance more with less of a down payment or without. Thank you!
