Question about VA Loan Acceptance in Los Angeles

[Account Closed]

Hoping to use a VA loan to purchase a Condo in Summer 2020 in ~700k range with 10% down in The San Fernando Valley.

I am hearing that as competitive as the market is, a VA loan might not be considered. In the price range, do you think it would be feasible? I have good earnest money. Would I need to be proactive and make offers over list?

Not sure if this market will be conducive or not- I have heard that SFR in Porter Ranch area have been accepting almost exclusively cash offers...

Honestly VA loans are very very tough to get accepted. FHA and VA will always be beat by cash and then by conventional. To have a prayer you're going to have to 1) really appeal to the seller, 2) make sure your offer is higher than all the others, by a good margin.
