If you have had a previous short sale, foreclosure, deed in lieu, or non re-payment of a VA loan in the past you still may have eligibility for a 100% financing VA loan. What happens when VA does not get repaid in full for a VA loan that a borrower had in the past, is they have a record of the amount they did not get repaid. This is reflected as the amount your entitlement is charged. However their is a formula for how much VA eligibility you have remaining.
Let’s say you bought a $190,000 house 10 years ago and had a foreclosure and VA shows 42,000 of your entitlement charged. And let’s say you want to buy a home with a VA loan in Los Angeles County California. The VA loan limit in Los Angeles County is $700,000. So you would take $700,000 X25%=$175,000. $175,000 is the VA insurance benefit in Los Angeles County. Then you would take $175,000 MINUS the previous loss VA took from your foreclosure of $42,000 which is $133,000. Then take $133,000X4=$532,000. So despite your prior foreclosure you would still have enough VA eligibility left to get a $532,000 VA loan with zero down in Los Angeles County.
