Has anyone used that aspect of their VA benefits there successfully? My recent information is that you can't on a new home but can on a pre-owned as long as it's through non-village affiliated financing. Some one else told me the houses there won't pass the VA inspection.

Anyways, lots of "I heard" but so far no "I actually did and here's how."
I'd like to get some reliable information for planning purposes.
Thanks to those that help.
VA loans are more than 30 days to close, so with developer/Citizens VA mortgages not allowed. We first inquired about our first house for VA mortgage in 2004. And each of the 5 homes thereafter

However the seller of a preowned, may decide they also don’t want to sell their home with someone who is VA approved. Especially if there is a quick close involved.
