Aloha, service members! Here at your local VA mortgage lender, 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?

Now, here’s the kind of listing we could get used to seeing all the time: a completely renovated home inside and out that reclaims its existing island-style build and elevates its character to a mid-century modern feel...and the best part? It’s UNDER the Honolulu VA Loan Limit! Located in the West Oahu neighborhood of Makakilo in the city of Kapolei at 92-734 Nohopaa Street, this single family home is nearest to U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point and a relatively short commute (approximately 30 minutes) to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH), Fort Shafter, Camp Smith, and Tripler Army Medical Center. In Kapolei Town - known as Oahu’s Second City - you’ll find dining, shopping, and outdoor activities at your fingertips. Download our free JBPHH PCS Guide to find out more about the area. In fact, this home reminds us of another renovated Oahu home for sale that we highlighted in Makakilo not too long ago. So it seems, the place to find your updated Hawaii home with ocean and sunset views is in Makakilo!

Elle Z.

"We highly recommend Tai! She is extremely knowledgeable about VA Loans. We first worked with her when we purchased our first home. She took the time to explain things in an easy-to-understand way. We worked with her again through a refinance to get a much lower interest rate. She went above and beyond to help complete the refinance and ensure all the paperwork was squared away during a deployment. We can't thank her enough!"
