Question 1

Can I use a VA loan on a Hawthorne condo near the Metro?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if the complex has VA approval. We check approval status before you submit offers to avoid wasting time on ineligible buildings.

Question 2

Do VA loans take longer to close in competitive LA markets?

Accepted Answer

Not with the right lender. Our VA specialists close in 21-25 days, matching conventional loan timelines that matter to Hawthorne sellers.

Question 3

What if I already used my VA loan benefit once?

Accepted Answer

You can reuse VA benefits if you sold the previous property or have remaining entitlement. The funding fee increases to 3.3% on subsequent use.

Question 4

Will sellers in Hawthorne accept VA offers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially when you waive the VA appraisal gap with strong pre-approval. Fast closings and clean financing make VA competitive with conventional buyers.

Question 5

Can I buy a fixer-upper in Hawthorne with a VA loan?

Accepted Answer

Only if it meets minimum property requirements. Major issues like foundation damage or roof replacement kill standard VA loans—consider VA renovation loans for properties needing work.
