Currently, zero down VA loan limits are the same as those set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency on conforming loans. The limit in 2019 is $484,350 in a typical U.S. county and higher in high-cost counties. So if you were buying a house for $485,000 or more in an area that is not considered high-cost you would need a down payment based on your entitlement.  This all changes starting Jan 1st, 2020!
