Appraisal
VA appraisal (URAR) is required and may flag luxury home features that conventional appraisals ignore
The VA loan benefit is the most underutilized wealth-building tool available to US veterans. Most veterans don’t know that VA loans have no conforming limit — that a veteran with full entitlement can purchase a $2M home with $0 down. The agent who serves VA buyers at the luxury tier knows how to navigate VA appraisal quirks, funding fee structures, and the entitlement restoration process.

VA Loan at the Luxury Tier: What Most Veterans Don’t Know
(1) No down payment above $1M: veterans with full entitlement (no current VA loan) can purchase at any price with 0% down in most counties. The county loan limit affects guaranteed entitlement but not the ability to buy with 0% down. (2) VA appraisal requirements: the VA requires an appraisal by a VA-approved appraiser. At the luxury tier, this adds 5–10 days to the timeline and may create challenges if the property has unique features. Some sellers in competitive markets are reluctant to accept VA offers because of the appraisal requirement. The specialist helps sellers understand that VA appraisal is not the obstacle they fear. (3) Funding fee: VA loans charge a funding fee (2.15% for first use, 3.3% for subsequent use). On a $1.5M purchase: $32,250. Can be financed into the loan. Waived entirely for veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 10% or more.
Entitlement Restoration: Buying Again With the VA Benefit
Veterans who have an existing VA loan can restore their entitlement through: (1) Selling the property and paying off the VA loan (full entitlement restored). (2) Refinancing the existing VA loan to a conventional loan (entitlement restored). (3) Having a qualifying veteran buyer assume the loan (entitlement tied up until assumption is complete). The specialist explains the entitlement situation before any offer is written to confirm the veteran’s purchasing power.
Ryan Brown, Principal Broker & CEO Own Luxury Homes®
“The veteran who is told they can’t buy a $1.5M home with their VA benefit because it’s above the conforming loan limit is being told incorrect information by an agent who has not closed a VA jumbo loan. Full entitlement means no county limit. $0 down. The specialist who knows VA luxury loans has closed at least one VA jumbo in the past 18 months.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a veteran buy a $1M+ home with VA loan and no down payment?
Yes, with full entitlement. Veterans without a current VA loan can purchase at any price with 0% down in most markets. The county loan limit affects guaranteed entitlement but not the 0% down ability.
Is the VA funding fee waived for disabled veterans?
Yes. Veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 10% or more have the VA funding fee waived. This saves $32,250 on a $1.5M purchase at the standard 2.15% rate.
Why do some sellers refuse VA offers?
Fear of the VA appraisal requirement. The specialist helps sellers understand that VA appraisals are similar to conventional, just performed by a VA-approved appraiser. Most VA appraisal concerns are addressable.
