What are the disadvantages of a VA Loan?

• VA Loans made prior to March 1, 1988 can be assumed with no qualifying of the new buyer. If the buyer defaults the property the Veteran homeowner may be liable for the funds.
• Some sellers are hesitant to work with someone obtaining a VA Loan because it takes longer than a conventional loan to process.
• Sellers are often asked to pay a portion of closing costs and therefore less likely to negotiate the sales price of the home.
