FAQs

VA buyer FAQs

Short answers. No invented rates. Roles stay split.

Is this only for Kansas City buyers?

KC buyers can use MoJo for local representation and Ashley for lender review. Outside KC, Ashley/FSB may review lending (50 states, subject to licensing); use a licensed local agent for real estate elsewhere.

Can I use a VA loan more than once?

Often yes. Entitlement restoration or remaining entitlement may apply. Lender must calculate before you shop.

Does VA still have an $800,000 loan limit?

Not exactly. With full entitlement, VA generally does not impose a loan limit — appraisal and lender approval still matter. With remaining entitlement, county conforming limits matter (2026 baseline one-unit conforming limit $832,750 per FHFA, higher in some counties).

Can the funding fee be waived?

Sometimes — disability compensation and related official categories. Verify with docs. See the exemption page.

Does the VA appraisal replace an inspection?

No.

Can Ashley review refinance questions?

Yes, subject to licensing, program availability, and underwriting. No promise that refinancing helps every borrower.
