Question 1

Do VA loans work for condos in Alameda?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if the condo project has VA approval. We check that early because approval status can change what is realistic to offer on.

Question 2

Is there a VA loan limit in Alameda County?

Accepted Answer

Not if you have full entitlement. Borrowers with partial entitlement can still run into county-based calculations, so we check that before you shop.

Question 3

What is the VA funding fee and can I waive it?

Accepted Answer

The funding fee is a one-time VA charge that many buyers roll into the loan. Veterans with qualifying service-connected disability status are usually exempt.

Question 4

Can I use a VA loan to buy a multi-unit property in Alameda?

Accepted Answer

Yes. VA can work on up to four units if you plan to live in one of them as your primary residence.

Question 5

How long does a VA loan take to close in Alameda?

Accepted Answer

With a lender that knows VA well, 21 to 30 days is common. The appraisal schedule usually matters more than the VA loan itself.
