Can I use a VA loan to buy new construction in Cane Bay?
Yes. VA loans work with most builders in Cane Bay Plantation including D.R. Horton, Lennar, and Pulte. The builder must use a VA-approved appraiser, but we handle all coordination.
Do VA loans take longer to close on new builds?
Sometimes. Builder timelines vary, but VA loans are no slower than conventional on resales. On new construction, the VA appraisal must be ordered when the home is 90% complete.
What’s the VA funding fee and can I avoid it?
