What to check on any home near Fort Shafter

  • Fee simple or leasehold. Know whether you own the land, and how that affects VA financing and resale.
  • Association fees. Many condos and townhomes have HOA or AOAO fees that affect your monthly payment and loan approval.
  • VA requirements. Condos need VA approval, and every home must meet VA Minimum Property Requirements.
  • Age of the home. Some nearby areas have older homes. A thorough inspection helps you plan for repairs.
  • Your exit plan. Think about keeping, renting, or selling when you PCS again. We cover this in your strategy consultation.

Do your own research on schools and neighborhoods

I don't rate neighborhoods or schools. Use official sources and visit in person:

  • Hawaii State Department of Education for school information and boundaries.
  • Your installation's School Liaison Officer.
  • Honolulu Police Department for public crime data.
  • Military OneSource MilitaryINSTALLATIONS for base and relocation resources.
