I've bought two homes with my VA loan, and the inspectors/inspections aren't nearly as bad that they're portrayed to be. Should be perfectly fine as long as there are no huge, glaring repairs that are needed.

Roofs, windows, electrical are the big ones here, understandably. They also get picky on walkways, railings, trip hazard type stuff. At least that was my experience. Overall, not too bad like you said but some are issues that can just not be repaired in other sales, but required here.

Echo this 100%. Sell to the VA family who took the extra step. Feel good story for you and your wife while helping out a veteran's family.

Currently on my 4th purchase with a VA loan (under contract) and like said before the VA will be a little more details driven it is not bad. As long as you don't have termite infestation or excessive damage you should be good to go.

My closing date is set for 12 August and we just went into contract. Inspection done yesterday. And as far as your situation goes if the price is close and it works for you and your family then why not? If its far off and doesn't benefit you and your family well this may not be the house for the family using the VA loan. JMO
