Similar guideline as FHA. Strict as making sure house is up to code and up to date with age of house.

IE... Roof will need to be younger than 8 years (I believe so) to waive repair... painting issue is another one.

VA is very similar as FHA.

Difference is... VA no pmi, FHA high pmi with low interest.
