Purpose of MPRs

VA Minimum Property Requirements (MPRs) provide general acceptability criteria for properties which will become the security for VA-guaranteed loans.

In proposed or under construction cases, the MPRs help ensure that the property is constructed according to the applicable

·   building code

·   Federal regulations, and

·   HUD requirements.

In existing and new construction cases, the MPRs provide a basis for determining that the property is

·   safe, structurally sound and sanitary, and

·   meets the standards considered acceptable in a permanent home in its locality.
