VA
For all non-IRRRL VA loans, effective with loans closed on or after January 1, 2022, PennyMac is aligning with FHFA’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 for veterans with used or compromised entitlements.

As a reminder, PennyMac requires that all VA loans conform to GNMA secondary market guidelines which include the minimum 25% coverage requirement.
