its a valid way of buying a house.. it's not my first time using it.
I'm not making offers on shitty houses. I just looked at one this afternoon
that in 5 minutes of being there, I decided it didn't meet my standards.
The market is so full of itself right now, people will pay top dollar for shit; and sellers know it and are taking advantage of it.
I'm not going down that road.

With most homes going over asking, I’d hardly say that it’s sellers taking advantage of people. It’s just the market right now. We lost out on 6 offers due to using VA. Got the 7th place we looked at and put an offer on. It is what it is. I could have gone conventional but didn’t want to liquidate investments and guns to make that happen. Either be patient or walk away from buying right now. It’s not getting any better and will take a few years for the waves to subside.
