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.

Direct lender offers VA Jumbo loans up to full county loan limit

VanDyk Mortgage is a VA Direct lender offering VA Jumbo loans up to your full county loan limit.
(and beyond!)

VanDyk Mortgage allows you to borrow up to your full County Loan Limits and beyond. Our VA Jumbo loans are not capped at $417,000, $625,500, or $650K. This may sound strange, but many VA lenders do not offer VA loans above 417K, 625,500, or 650k.

Why $650K you ask?  It doesn't correspond with any VA County Limit .  This has to do with the lender's investors and warehouse financing.  Warehouse financing is basically the Lender's line of credit that is used to extend mortgage loans. Many lenders are constricted by their warehouse lender's guidelines to the $650K limit or $417K, without regard to actual VA Loan Limits or VA Loan Options available to Veteran Buyers and Refinancers.  VanDyk Mortgage allows you to borrow up to your full County VA Loan Limits for 2012 and also in some cases we can make a VA Jumbo Loan up to $1.5 million. (these do require equity or down payment). Please call for details on the VA Jumbo Program, it allows Veterans to purchase and refinance properties in higher cost areas in California and Washington such as Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, and more.

VA Jumbo Refinance loans offer solutions conventional loans simply don't allow.

VA Jumbo Refinance loans offer solutions conventional loans simply don't allow. This sounds a little backwards from what you may have thought, seen or heard in the past about VA Loans, specifically VA Refinance 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 both rate/term refinance and cash out refinance than VA requirements. True Jumbo Conventional Loans require at least 20% equity in your home for refinance, more if you want cash out.  The VA Jumbo loan allows Refinances up to 90% of your homes value in both cases, VA Refinance, and VA Cash-out refinance. The VA Loan also allows you to consolidate a first and second mortgage with no penalty to rate or fees.
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.

Scenario 1. Your home is worth $1m, and you live in San Francisco. You have a ARM loan and owe $860,000. Conventional loans require more equity, at least 20%, this scenario only has 14% equity, so the bank tells you no. In comes the VA Jumbo loan to the rescue. Since the county limit is $625,500 in San Francisco, and you have at least 10% equity in your home, we can offer you a VA Jumbo Loan can refinance this loan up to $900K. The VA jumbo loans are typically a 30 year fixed rate, and never a prepayment penalty. Problem Solved!

Scenario 2. You live in Los Angeles, your home is worth $900K, and you owe $790K on your current loan, which is adjustable rate or higher interest fixed rate (over 5.3%). You want to get a fixed rate while the rates are good. You call the big bank. They tell you that you don't have enough equity in your home to refinance, you only have 12% equity, far below their 20% requirement. Once again, the VA Jumbo comes to the rescue for Veterans. Since the county limit is $625,500 for a Los Angeles VA Loan, and VanDyk allows VA loans over the county limit with an appropriate combination of entitlement and equity, we are able to offer you a new VA Jumbo 30 yr Fixed rate mortgage for this scenario. The new loan can be up to $810K, or 90% of the appraised value with your new Jumbo VA loan. Problem solved
.
Scenario 3. You live in San Diego, your home is worth $750K. You have a first mortgage is $550K , and you have a second mortgage of $90K that you used to upgrade your home, and enhance it's value. A conventional jumbo loan will consider this a Cash-Out transaction due to the second mortgage being paid off, and you will be limited to a maximum of 65% Loan to Value or LTV. This won't work, as you are at 85.33% LTV. In comes the VA Jumbo to the rescue. Since the San Diego County VA Loan Limit is $477,000, and you have some equity in your home, we can combine the first mortgage and the second mortgage into one VA Jumbo 30 year fixed rate Loan, and you have sufficient entitlement and equity to meet the base guideline of 25% guarantee. Problem solved.

Scenario 4. You live in San Diego, your home is worth $1 Million. You have a first mortgage owing $835K. The conforming Jumbo limit is $546,250 in San Diego, so that won't help. The FHA loan loan limit in San Diego County is also $697,500, not helping either.  A conventional jumbo loan will require atleast 20% equity in your home. This won't work either, you are at 83.5% LTV. In comes the VA Jumbo to the rescue. Since the San Diego County VA Loan Limit is $477,000, and you have some equity in your home, we can combine the first mortgage and the second mortgage into one VA Jumbo Loan for as much as $855K, since you have sufficient entitlement and equity to meet the base guideline of 25% guarantee. 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 2012.

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.
