Any drawbacks to sellers working with VA buyers?

[Esmeralda Yniguez]

Hi there, I am a newer agent and haven't had the opportunity to work with Veterans yet. I wanted to know if there are any drawbacks to working with Veteran buyers? I am told that it is more expensive for sellers to accept VA offers because of Termite inspections and repairs and many other costs. Is that true? I am aware of the Termite inspections, but what other costs will seller have to incur?

Thanks

I sold my last house to a buyer with a VA loan. The $150 termite inspection and $160 to treat for powder post beetles (the damage was probably 60 years old) didn't turn me off a bit, nor did splitting a $1500 parking pad issue that was called out by the appraiser. It did take about 60 days to close, but whatever, they were a nice couple that loved the house and he served our country. Good enough for me.
