VA Loans / "VA Jumbo" - loan limits going away nationwide.

Huge for the San Francisco Bay Area, Oakland, DC, LA, San Diego, and other high cost areas of the country. Can't wait to do my first $3m 0% down VA loan. :)
For those curious, currently veterans have to put down 25% of the difference. In my area the loan limit (in 2019) is $726k. If you buy an $826k home, 25% of the difference is $25k down. My reading of the bill, as well as the law it amends, is that lenders will go for 0% down once the VA puts out guidance that effectively enacts the law (in theory it's in effect now, in reality no lender will go for it until the VA confirms & describes any implementation steps necessary).

This is absolutely huge if they let us do this in the Bay Area. Definitely keep us posted on this.
