My advice? Hire The Grey to check out any home/seller/inspector you might be interested in!

She pretty much nailed it.

VA loans are great for buyers, not so great for sellers...at least that's what we've found. It's been our experience they take just a bit longer to close and, as has been mentioned, they're very picky in their requirements. On the other hand, it's easier to qualify for a VA loan, the interest rate is usually slightly lower, no PMI and they don't require a down payment.

Also, don't just check out one lender. Price shop with lenders just like you would for anything else. Costs can vary wildly.

On the plus side, you can get a lot of house for $1500 month. But always keep in mind how much insurance and property taxes will add to the payment.

Good luck!
