As a veteran I purchased my house last year using a VA loan. The stickler with a VA is that the government wants to make sure the house is safe and sound without any defects that could compromise the buyer. That said the buyer can also agree to cover any repairs that the home inspection finds. Other than that the loan is guaranteed to not fall through like some conventional loans can when the buyer doesn’t qualify. Think this is a two pipe problem.
What's the market like in your part of the world. That'll tell if you should wait for something more to your liking. I've never found a VA sale to be anymore stressful than a standard back mortgage.
I intentionally listed below comps in Chicago . 2740 W. Agatite . Bought in 1999 when I was 26, next to my grammas building (1945 purchase) and my mom across the alley . Chicago is a weird real estate market , building was worth the same in 2008, no appreciation .
You just need to send $100,00 to my agent in Nigeria and then I can get you $1 million by Christmas! Usually I do this via fax, but for a forum member …
Sometime ago, cousin in law was telling about a story about my cousin. One day he came home happy. She asked what happened. He said, "store cashier told me one of this batteries will cost $5. I told him that's too high. So he gave two of 'em for $10!" He's very book smart. Well to do surgeon. But not very street smart.
