As of 2020, veterans with full VA entitlement (no active VA loans and no prior VA loan losses) have no conforming loan limit. You can borrow as much as a lender will approve with zero down payment. This is particularly valuable in Broward County’s competitive real estate market, where median home prices exceed $500,000 in many neighborhoods.
Veterans with remaining entitlement (because of an active or prior VA loan) are subject to county loan limits. For Broward County in 2025, the conforming loan limit is $806,500. Jumbo VA loans above that amount are available with a partial down payment.

The VA Home Loan Guaranty Program was established by the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 (GI Bill). The VA does not lend money directly, it guarantees a portion of the loan, reducing lender risk and enabling favorable terms. As of 2020, the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act removed loan limits for veterans with full entitlement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my VA loan benefit more than once in Broward County?
Yes. Your VA loan benefit is reusable. If you’ve paid off a prior VA loan and sold the property, your entitlement is typically restored and you can use the benefit again. Even if you have an active VA loan, you may have remaining entitlement available for a second property. Lena will review your COE and entitlement status before your pre-approval.
What is the VA funding fee and can it be waived?
The VA funding fee is a one-time charge that helps sustain the VA loan program. For a first-time use with 0% down, the fee is 2.15% of the loan amount (as of 2025). It can be rolled into the loan. Importantly, the funding fee is waived entirely for veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 10% or higher. Surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from a service-connected disability are also exempt.
Does the property need to meet specific VA requirements in Broward County?
Yes. VA appraisers assess properties against Minimum Property Requirements (MPRs) to ensure the home is safe, structurally sound, and sanitary. In Broward County, common issues include aging roofs, Chinese drywall in homes built 2001 to 2009, and flood zone requirements. Lena can flag potential MPR issues before you make an offer, saving time and inspection costs.
