VA Loan Update:
Big Wins for Veterans! 🏡🎖️
Big news! Starting May 1, 2026, the VA is removing several "red tape" requirements that used to make buying a home more difficult. These changes apply to appraisals ordered on or after May 1st.
Here is what’s officially changing:
• Outbuildings: Sheds, barns, and detached garages will no longer be evaluated for minor repairs.
• Peeling Paint: For homes built after 1978, peeling or chipped paint is now considered cosmetic—not a reason to stall your loan!
• Radon Rules: VA-specific radon certifications for new builds are no longer required.
• Heaters: Requirements for non-vented heaters have been simplified to focus on general safety.
These updates mean fewer unnecessary repairs and a smoother path to your new front door.
Ready to use your benefits? The Mann Team is here to guide you through these new rules!
