VA
For all non-IRRRL VA loans, effective with loans closed on or after January 1, 2018, PennyMac is aligning with VA’s increase to the county loan limits. VA does not have a maximum loan amount, but instead uses the county loan limit to determine the maximum potential entitlement available. Complete details of VA’s county loan limits can be found at http://www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/purchaseco_loan_limits.asp.
As a reminder, PennyMac requires that all VA loans conform to GNMA secondary market guidelines which include the minimum 25% coverage requirement.
