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 break dancing to you – for after you sign those closing papers.

What can your BAH buy?

Check out this bright and airy single family home in the Renaissance neighborhood of Waipahu that’s just waiting for you to add your personal touches!

It’s not hard to see why the Waipahu area of Oahu is a great place to live with Schofield Barracks and Pearl Harbor Naval Station both within convenient driving distance. This property has all the features of home with a yard that’s fit for a barbecue and plenty of space for kids and pets to play.
