I purchased my home with the VA, and I can tell you first hand the home does not have to be in mint condition, not that mine is bad. Whoever does the home inspection turns it in to the proper channels and the VA approves the loan. Also a minimum credit score is required which I believe has to be a 630. My steps going to the back yard from my sun room had no banister and they approved the home.
That's actually a huge safety Hazard in most home inspections. I'm surprised they let that slide. However, AWESOME information. Thanks brother.
