VA Jumbo Purchase Loans - Filling in the gaps that Conventional loan don't serve.

VA Jumbo Purchase Loans - Filling in the gaps that Conventional loan don't serve.

This sounds a little backwards from what you may have thought, seen or heard in the past about VA Loans, specifically VA Purchase Loans. VA now allows higher loan amounts up to $1,500,000, and VanDyk Mortgage offers these throughout California and Washington.

Conventional Loans require more equity for Jumbo loan amounts over $417,000 for purchase of a home or condo than typical VA requirements. True Jumbo Conventional Loans require at least 20% down payment to purchase a home, and more if you exceed $1m. The VA Jumbo loan allows Veteran purchasers many options for reduced downpayments vs conventional options.

VA Jumbo rates are typically lower than True Jumbo Rates on 30 year fixed rate loans. Call for an updated quote today - 760-752-4480.

There are a couple scenarios below of how VA Jumbo Loans can help Jumbo Borrowers who are Veterans or Active Duty Military Personnel in the purchase of a home:

Scenario 1. You want to buy a home for $1m in San Francisco. A conventional loan will require at least 20% downpayment, You have the money, but would prefer to keep it in the market to recapture what you have lost in the last couple years. In comes the VA Jumbo loan to the rescue. Since the county limit is $962,500 in San Francisco, we can offer a VA Jumbo loan up to $990,625 with just $9,375 down payment (yes, under 1% down). Our VA jumbo loans are typically a 30 year fixed rate, and never a prepayment penalty. Problem Solved! How about putting $9k vs 200K down. and getting a better rate sound?

Scenario 2. You want to buy a home in Long Beach for $900K. Since the county limit is $593,750 for a Los Angeles VA Loan, and VanDyk allows VA loans over the county limit, Our VA Jumbo Purchase loan for Long Beach would only require a $76,562 downpayment (8.51%). Problem solved.

Scenario 3. You want to buy a home in Oakland for $900K. Since the county limit is $962,500 for an Oakland or Alameda county VA Loan, your VA Jumbo Purchase loan for Oaklandwould only require zero downpayment. Conventional loans would require 20% in Oakland, and FHA loans cap out at $729,750. Problem solved for our Veteran.

Scenario 4. You want to buy a home for $1.65m in San Francisco. A conventional loan will require at least 20% downpayment, In comes the VA Jumbo loan to the rescue. Since the county limit is $962,500 in San Francisco, we can offer a VA Jumbo loan up to $1.5M, with a $150K down payment (yes, under 10% down). Our VA jumbo loans are typically a 30 year fixed rate, and never a prepayment penalty. Problem Solved!

As you can see, working a VA Loan pro can really make a difference. Veterans have never had more options or ways to utilize their VA benefit to Purchase or Refinance their homes in California.

There are many more situations and scenarios that VA Loans can help whereas conventional loans may not. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you think your VA Benefit could help you a Refinance or Purchase your home.

Here is a recent post regarding the new VA Loan Limits 2010.

These examples show some of the ways that a VA Jumbo Loan can help, and in ways that many lenders don't offer. VanDyk Mortgage offers VA Jumbo Loans up to $1,500,000 in all areas that we service. Many VA Lenders limit VA Loans to the county limit for your area, or a max of $650K, VanDyk is not contained to these limits. Even in areas with a lower VA Loan Limit, we still offer the VA Loan up to $1,500,000, as long as there is a sufficient combination of entitlement and equity to meet the guideline of 25%.

You do need good credit for VA jumbo loans, and must be able to fully document your income, but that should come as no surprise in today's lending world.

    FHA Flip rule - We allow FHA Flips per the FHA Flip Rule Waiver

    FHA Flip rule - 1 day owned by seller OK


    The Seller seasoning requirement on our FHA Loans is one day. That is correct, one day. While FHA has released guidance for lenders allowing the Flip Rule to be Waived for all Sellers until Feb 1, 2011, many lenders still require that sellers own a home for 90-180 days before it is eligible for their FHA Financing. We do not require these waiting periods for FHA Loans.

    Seller Seasoning simply means how long the current owner has owned the property (as recorded on Title Records). Seller seasoning is also called Owner seasoning. The contract date must be after the date of acquisition for the seller, a redated contract is not allowable.

    This is in complete alignment with the HUD guidelines for FHA Loans. The other lenders that have added restrictions are reducing the eligibility for Homebuyers to use FHA Loans to purchase homes from investors who may have purchased the home at a foreclosure auction, or direct from a bank. This opens the door for more homes to be eligible for safe, secure, and sound FHA financing. Many of these homes have been completely rehabilitated, making them a more desirable home to buy: they are Turn key homes.

    Our FHA Rules can help you avoid the issue of FHA seller seasoning, FHA Flip Rules, and big bank rules that restrict access to quality FHA Loans.

    Get started on your FHA Home loan with the FHA Loan Pros at VanDyk. Visit us at http://www.vandykfunding.com/ to apply online, or call 760-752-4480 and ask for Brian Skaar.


    There are some guidelines for FHA Flips under 90 days that will require some attention. If the home increased in price more than 20% from the sellers acquisition cost, the increase in price will need to be justified with renovation records, the sale must be arms-length (No Idendity of Interest between buyer and seller), multiple flipping within previous 12 months is a red flag, no assignment of contracts, property inspection may be required, and buyer's agent cannot be the seller of the home.


    VanDyk Mortgage is a FHA Direct Lender offering FHA & FHA Jumbo Loans throughout our lending areas including California, Washington, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, Temecula, Murrieta, Orange County, San Jose, San Francisco, Seattle, Puyallup, Auburn, Kent, Everett, Tacoma, and everything in between.

    VA Condo Loans -VA Loans to buy or refinance Condominiums

    VanDyk Mortgage VA Condo Loans -VA Loans to buy or refinance Condominiums / Condo's.

    VanDyk Mortgage is a VA Lender offering VA Loans to purchase or refinance Condominiums. The tightening credit market of the past couple years has wrought havoc on Condominiums as Conventional Agencies Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac have added many restrictions on Condos, both in the way of reduced eligibility and also increased rates for Condo's. FHA also recently changed it's rules for Condominium eligibility as well, making it even harder for Sellers and Listing Agents to sell Condo's.

    In comes the VA to the rescue. To qualify for a VanDyk VA Condo Loan, the condo must be on the VA Approved Condo list, which includes many existing complexes. You can search for
    VA Approved Condos yourself or rely on us. The hard part is the Condo Association name may not appear in the VA Site, forcing us to use the homes Legal description to determine the VA Condo Eligibility. Simply call us so we can help research the Condo's Eligibility for a VA Loan.

    VanDyk Mortgage offers VA financing on Condos with VA Loans up to $417,000 and we also offer VA Jumbo Loans for Condo's (up to the
    County VA Loan Limits). This includes Purchase, Refinance, and the popular VA IRRRL, or VA Streamline Refinance.

    VanDyk does not require the seller to hold the property for 90 days like many other lenders. If the seller of record on the day of the purchase agreement matches, that fits within our rules. Another name for this is the Flip Rule, where many banks require a seller to be on Title for 90 days minimum, we only require 1 day.

    We offer VA Loans for Condo's in California & Washington state. Condo's in cities like San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, Seattle, Bellevue, Ventura, and Irvine can qualify for VA Condo Loans.

    VA Flip Rules for California and Washington VA Loans

    VA flip rules for California and Washington VA Loans

    We just posted an article on our other VA Blog that covers our Owner Seasoning Rules AKA VA Flip Rule. VanDyk Mortgage only requires sellers to be on Title (owner of record) for one day prior to selling the home again. This is important, as many homes are bought direct from the big banks in bulk by Investors who fix up the homes and put them on the market for resale.

    Many VA Lenders require a waiting period before the Home Can Qualify for a new VA Loan in this scenario. VanDyk Mortgage has no waiting period for a VA Loan after the prior sale.

    We offer these on VA Condo's as well as using VA Loans and VA Jumbo Loans to purchase a single family home. We serve California, Washington, San Diego, Riverside, Temecula, Murrieta, Irvine, Los Angeles, Ventura, San Jose, San Francisco, Seattle, bellevue, redmond, and all parts in between for VA Loans.
