How come some sellers don't accept VA Loan Buyers?

[Dwight Porter]

Greetings, 

I'm new to real estate and I found my first deal on a duplex in the Houston Texas area. I was going to house hack using a VA loan. I visited the property and made a strong offer. A few days later my realtor called me saying the seller is not accepting VA loan offers.

I wanted to know if any other VA loan buyers have dealt with this? What are some possible reasons sellers stay away from VA loan Buyers? Is there anything a Buyer can do to make the seller more comfortable with accepting a VA loan offer? Any best practices? I look forward to your responses!

Thanks!
