VA loans have lending limits that are similar to FHA loans; the limit is based on the county of where the home is located. For Utah mortgages, the limit is $417,000 for all counties except Salt Lake, Summit and Tooele, for those counties, the limit is $594,550. VA has lower loan limits when compared to FHA and conventional Utah mortgage loans. Loan eligibility, like for all other mortgage loans, is based on the borrower’s credit history, income, current debts and assets.
If you currently have a VA loan and would like to refinance it to reduce your interest rate, or to go from an ARM to a fixed rate loan, we can assist you with you IRRRL (Interest rate reduction refinance loan). You will not need to provide a new certificate of eligibility for this transaction. This option is to reduce your interest rate only; no cash back can go to the borrower on an IRRRL. If you would like a cash-out refinance transaction it cannot be with a VA loan.
