VA Home Loans in Jacksonville
Using Your VA Benefit in Jacksonville
Northeast Florida is a fleet-concentration market anchored by NAS Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport. Valor Home Mortgage is licensed in Florida, charges zero lender fees, has no VA loan limit with full entitlement, considers scores down to 500, and averages about 21 days to close.
Duval, Clay and St. Johns counties absorb a constant rotation of sea-duty and aviation billets. Deployment cycles mean many of these files are signed by power of attorney or closed while the service member is underway — normal work for us, not an exception that stalls the file.

Jacksonville VA Loan Limits in 2026
No VA loan limit in Duval, Clay, Nassau or St. Johns County with full entitlement. The 2026 baseline conforming figure of $832,750 applies only to reduced entitlement.
Zero Down, No PMI
VA is the only widely available true 100% financing left, and it never carries monthly mortgage insurance. That gap alone is usually worth several hundred dollars a month versus a low-down conventional loan.
500+ FICO Considered
Most retail banks stop at 620. We work wholesale investors that go down to a 500 FICO on VA, which matters after a deployment-era credit hit or an identity theft cleanup.
About 21 Days To Close
Our average VA purchase closes in roughly 21 days. That timeline is what makes a VA offer competitive against cash and conventional buyers in a tight market.
