What though the radiance which was once so bright— William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)
Be not forever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
Grief not, rather find,
Strength in what remains behind,
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be,
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of Human suffering,
In the faith that looks through death
In years that bring philophic mind.
Temporary VA Home Loan Limit Increase Week of August 25, 2008
The VA Home Loan limit was recently increased for some geographic areas. The new VA Loan limit for loans requiring no down payment has been increased to $729,750 for some locations within the continental U.S. and $1,094,625 for Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, and other overseas locales. This increase is only good through December 31, 2008 and the law will be rescinded on January 1, 2009. The new limit does not include refinance loans. The new temporary loan limit increase varies depending upon the median price for a single-family residence in a given location; many locations will not see an increase. There is a loan limit calculator available at https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/hicostlook.cfm. The user must select the appropriate state, enter the name of the county, select “Fannie/Freddie” for the “Limit Type,” and click “SEND.” The applicable maximum loan amount is found in the column labeled “One-Family.” Read the full article.
