StevenThanks for your response!

For example, you could buy the house subject to the existing financing (i.e. taking over payments) with the understanding that she will be responsible for payments for up to the next three months while the house is fixed up or until you close.

They cannot get anyone at the VA to look into the matter or take responsibility.

Nathan Emmert thanks for the quick response!

@Dmitriy Pukhov,You don't necessarily have to pay off the first, but you do become responsible for the payments to prevent foreclosure.

@Aaron Howell In response, no I am not obligated, just seems nice to have a one stop shop that has a good reputation as well. 

Thanks @Troy Fisher and @Rudy Manna for awesome response and guidance. 

For example, approximate salary, newlyweds, age groups and etc.Thank you very much for your response!

Thanks everyone... lots of great responses. 

I would include clear language in the lease that states their responsibility for the lawn & snow.
