TV is not discriminating against veterans. A builder has to be VA approved and many (most) do not want to be approved because of the VA inspections required at different stages during construction, sometimes delaying the process and even leading to tear-outs and re- builds. Even though this is required to protect the veteran (and the VA that guarantees the loan) it is just too much red tape and added expense to a builder. Unless the laws have changed you can get a VA loan after new construction is at least a year old ( I guess VA thinks if the construction has made it that long the house is not going to fall down). There are some fees relating to a VA loan that are not allowed to be paid by the borrower so you might run into a pre-owned property with a seller not willing to pay these fees but most sellers will pay the extra fees to get a buyer!
