Condos on a VA loan
A Hawaii-specific issue that can make or break a VA offer.
VA condo approval
For a VA loan, the condominium project itself has to be approved by VA. Before you write an offer, I check whether the building is on VA's approved list.
- Approved: we proceed as normal.
- Not approved: an approval request can be submitted, but it takes time and isn't guaranteed. We weigh that against your timeline.
- HOA documents, budgets and any special assessments still matter for underwriting.
