When we started HawaiiVALoans.com - our vision was to make it as easy as possible for those who may be eligible for a VA Loan to learn the basics of the VA Loan program; who’s eligible, the benefits of a VA Loan & how the home buying process works.

Step one was to create our site, HawaiiVALoans.com & the VA Loan Blog that has a wealth of information, tips and tools.  Step two was to create our 21-page eBook - “VA Homebuyers’ Guide - Understanding Your VA Loan Benefits & the Home Buying Process” and so far, we’ve received great feedback on how informative this guide has been.  Finally, we are at step three.  In an effort to continually provide more FREE information to those who would like to learn more about the VA Guaranteed Home Loan program, we will be doing a free VA Homebuyer Seminar, which we plan on holding every month.

According to the VA Department, there are roughly 25 million Veterans living in the US today - and yet only 2.1 million VA Loans are currently being insured by the VA Department. It’s obvious that most VA eligible borrowers are not taking advantage of the unique benefits allowed to them through the VA Home Loan program.  Why?  Probably due to the lack of information explaining the true benefits of a VA Loan as well as being intimidated by the home buying process.

From day one, our goal with HawaiiVALoans.com was to provide our current military personnel as well as Veterans with as much information regarding their VA Home Loan benefits as possible.  And to continue our vision, I’m proud to announce that we have just released our 21-page eBook:

VA Homebuyers’ Guide

This 21-page ebook will cover everything from:

When shopping for the perfect home to buy, it is always recommended to get prequalified by a lender first so that you don’t waste your time looking at properties that may not be in your price range. In the same token, when shopping for a condo and you know that you will be getting financing through a VA loan - you must first check to see if the particular condominium you are interested in is eligible for VA financing.

Even though most condos in Hawaii are VA eligible, you want to double check ahead of time. The last thing you want to do is fall in love with a particular condominium only to find out after the fact, that this condominium is not on the VA approved condo list.

HawaiiVALoans.com makes checking the VA eligibility easy by introducing the Condo Eligibility Check Tool. With this particular tool, you just type the first few letters of the condo name and the suggestion tool will automatically return the most relevant results. Once you see the condo name you are searching for, click the name and just like that - you can find out if the condo is approved for VA financing or not.

Now if you cannot find the condo name in the search box, not to worry. It just means that this particular condo has yet to be reviewed by the VA Regional office here in Hawaii. Feel free to contact us if there is condo that you would like to be added to the VA approved condo list here in Hawaii.
