"Be Sure The Complex is FHA or VA Approved!"  
Westminster, CO - How many times have you placed a property, mostly condo / townhouses, on the market without checking whether or not it is an approved complex by FHA or VA? 
It really is easy to do, if you are not paying attention to the approval lists, and NOT taking one step further to ensure they are approved.  Remember, those lists can change, they are NOT set in stone for long terms!!
We have recently come across a complex that DOES show it on the VA list, as an … (8 comments)
