Buying in Redstone Commons with a VA Loan
Most of the buyers I work with use VA loans, and Redstone Commons works well for them. Some things to know:
-
Assumable VA loans. Several recent listings here have advertised assumable VA loans with interest rates well below today's rates. If you're VA-eligible, taking over a seller's loan could lower your monthly payment significantly. Assumptions take longer to close and need lender approval, so plan for that time before your report date.
-
USDA. The community was originally marketed as USDA-eligible. USDA eligibility maps change, so verify the specific address before you count on it.
-
HOA review. Every home here is in the HOA. Your lender and your budget will both need the current dues and the HOA documents early in the process.
What I Check Before My Clients Make an Offer Here
-
HOA documents and dues. Get the current rules, fees and any planned increases in writing.
-
Flood zone. Check the specific lot, not the neighborhood as a whole, and get an insurance quote early.
-
Inspection. Get a full inspection even on a newer home. Ask whether any builder warranty coverage remains and whether past repair requests were completed.
-
Lot width. Confirm whether the home is on a 50-foot or 70-foot lot. It affects yard space and resale comparisons.
-
School assignment. Verify it for the exact address.
