Using your VA benefit in Ramsey
More space with no down payment is possible in Ramsey. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
What can a VA loan buy in Ramsey? A home you will live in: a house on a larger lot, a home in a newer neighborhood, or a townhome near The COR. Homes with a private well need a water test.
Plan the timeline
Well tests and septic inspections add days. We order them as soon as your offer is accepted, so they do not delay the closing or your move.
Think about the drive
Highway 10 is the main route toward Minneapolis, about 22 miles away. If you travel to a base, a reserve unit, or the VA medical center, tell us, and we check the route before you choose.
