Yesterday I had an unusual discussion with a guy who is moving to the Seattle area about a condo that’s for sale. He was trying to buy it and had been told the seller was involved in a lawsuit and for whatever reason was unwilling to accept his offer that included VA financing – because of the VA financing. I am now after hearing his comments if sellers who don’t accept VA financing are breaking the law. According to this gentleman, you can’t discriminate against a vet – but what is it then if a seller won’t accept VA financing on their property for sale? Anyone have some insight and documentation to share to back this up?
With such a difficult marketplace going on right now in real estate, you’d think that sellers would be happy to consider all options, even though there are some required fees for sellers to pay on the buyer’s closing costs for Veteran’s Administration backed loans.
This is a topic I’d love to have others weigh in on. Please do share your thoughts!
