I'm still up north, but more progress has been made!
The termite inspection was relatively painless fortunately. There were a few areas that needed to be treated and a small area of carpenter ants that the inspector said was really minor, but nothing overly expensive.
We sent a list to the seller of what needed to be repaired for the VA loan, things we considered vital to be repaired before we moved in and things that did need to be repaired, but they weren't deal breakers.
It took over a week, but the seller responded and is working on most of the repairs. One they wouldn't fix was a broken oven thermostat for an older model double oven because of the cost versus the oven's value. They use the bottom oven.
After we did some tentative searching without knowing the actual model of the oven, it seems that the older model thermostat units are $150-300. As long as it's disconnected so I don't unintentionally burn the house down, it's fine. We planned on replacing the ovens eventually since they are older.
After these repairs are made, we just need to get it appraised, and then if that goes well, we can close. This whole process has been so stressful.
