Aloha, military service members! Here at Hawaii VA Loans, one of our goals is to be your go-to, trustworthy resource for information on home buying and the VA loan process. In order for us to achieve that, we think it is important to break it down for you. Not in dance moves, but in data, BAH style. We’ll leave the dancing to you – for after you sign those closing papers.

What can your BAH buy?

Take a look at this current listing – a spacious townhouse, nestled in the desirable Windward community of Kaneohe. Located just minutes from Kaneohe Marine Corps Base, and exceptionally convenient to shopping, beaches, freeways, and more, you’ll have the action and beauty of the Windward coast at your fingertips.

Renovated in 2006, this Windward Estates property is move-in ready and looking for someone to make use of the bonus entertaining space.
