What are some of your recommendations to make a stronger offer for a sfh we will first use as a primary?

For context, we plan on using a VA Loan as we are moving to cross country out west.

7 day or less  option 
1% or more earnest money

$ for their sellers moving cost

Thanks for any feedback

    We purchased a home as a house hack using the VA loan in San Diego last summer. My lender could do a 17-day close on the VA loan, and was able to pay the seller $250 per diem for every day it went over 17 days (he was able to close in 17 days though). This was included in our offers and made our offers much more appealing to sellers!

    Good luck and keep us updated on your progress!
