    Why Property Condition Matters

    A VA loan can be a strong option, but the property must meet the VA's Minimum Property Requirements (MPRs). The goal is to ensure the home is safe, structurally sound, and sanitary. Final approval depends on the VA appraisal, lender review, and property condition.

    Common VA Appraisal Considerations

    Roof condition and remaining life
    HVAC and utility functionality
    Peeling or chipping paint
    Termite or wood-destroying insect damage
    Water damage or plumbing leaks
    Safe electrical systems
    Foundation and structural integrity
    Safe access and egress
    Adequate ventilation and heating
    Clean water supply and safe sewage disposal
    No safety hazards or exposed wiring
    Properly functioning windows and doors
