Shadowridge Aspens is on the VA Condo Report as Shadowridge Aspens (ID 004033), Map 13721, Accepted Without Conditions. It's an older record with no street or dates, so I have your lender match it to the unit before you write an offer.
With full entitlement there's no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. HOA dues count in the payment your lender qualifies you on, so I run the numbers with the dues included before you write an offer.

As first-time homebuyers, he made the VA process look seamless and explained everything to us in great detail. He was working with us from the beginning when we were still overseas in Japan. Being a dual-active military family, I would 100% recommend him. He truly supports and understands the military community and lifestyle, a veteran himself.
