When we sold our home before coming to the villages the buyer wanted to use a VA loan but our realtor made them also get backup conventional loan completely ready to go too, if the VA loan took too long to clear or didn't come though. Thank goodness our realtor did that.



From our few dealings with VA loans they in practice are very hard to make use of because of govt. regs and requirements not because seller want to "deny" them to veterans.


Actually, the time constraint and penalties imposed on a new home buyer have the same effect as denying veterans their right to a VA loan.
