Use the home loan benefit you earned, with a clear plan for your VA purchase in Minnesota.
Using your VA benefit in Inver Grove Heights
Inver Grove Heights offers a wide range of homes, and your VA benefit can work for many of them. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
Can I use a VA loan on any home in Inver Grove Heights? A detached home or a townhome usually works. A condominium must be in a development the VA has approved. Your lender can check the approval list before you tour, so you only fall for homes you can finance.
Many buyers on orders shop from a distance. We tour homes for you on video and send you the details that photos miss, such as the slope of the lot and the distance to Highway 52.
Your full monthly payment
Many eligible buyers make no down payment, so the monthly payment is the number to watch. We add taxes, insurance, and any association dues to the mortgage for every home you consider.
Dakota County keeps the tax records. Its free Property Information Search shows the tax on any Inver Grove Heights home, and we pull it with you before you write an offer. Electricity comes from Xcel Energy or Dakota Electric, depending on the location, so we ask for recent utility costs too.
Choosing the right part of the city
The city covers about 28 square miles, so the location of a home changes your drive and your school district. Highway 52 runs north and south through the city and meets Interstate 494. Three districts serve different areas: ISD 199, ISD 196, and ISD 197.
Tell us where you will work or drill, and we start with the neighborhoods that fit that drive.
The city also keeps 31 parks and the Veterans Memorial Community Center, which has an indoor water park, a fitness center, ice arenas, and a gym. If those matter to your household, we note the distance from each home.
