How VA limits work
Since 2020, the VA does not cap loans for borrowers with full entitlement. If you have an active VA loan, or a past one whose entitlement wasn’t restored (reduced entitlement), the VA guarantees up to 25% of the county limit minus the entitlement already used. Above that, you may need a down payment.
