Conventional Financing:  Less strict with lender required repairs but larger down payments and more strict credit guidelines. FHA/VA Financing:  Requires more scrutiny with lender required repairs via appraisal.  In general these take longer to underwrite and close so a cash or conventional offer looks more enticing to the seller. ... 11/24/2010
