How To Use The VA Condo Approval Site

[Michael Duncan]

Aloha from Hawaii,

To purchase a condo with the VA loan, the condo must be on the approved list. I have used the list a few times to find approved condos, so I thought it would be useful to show some things I have learned.

VA Condo Approval List Website

-First thing I learned is to start by selecting the State and clicking "Submit"

-At that point, you will see an alphabetized list of condominiums in that state

-You can click the numbers at the bottom to move to other pages

-Once you find the condo you're looking for, you can expand it to see if the condo is approved or not. 

-Make sure the address matches the condo you are looking for

-Make sure it says "Accepted"

Tips

-To search for only condos that are approved, check the box labeled "Retrieve only approved condos"

-Using asterisks (*) does not work in the search bar (just type the word you are looking for with no special characters)

-I have learned that usually the condo you are looking for is located based on its name, however, sometimes it is listed under it's address instead.

Hope this helps some people!

Post any tips you have too!
