Build new with a one-time close
VA one-time-close construction loans fund land, construction, and the permanent mortgage in a single closing — often $0 down with full entitlement. You'll need a licensed builder (you can't be your own GC) and a fixed-price contract. If no construction lender fits, build with interim financing and refinance into a VA loan at completion.
Divorce and your VA entitlement
If your ex keeps the home and the VA loan, your entitlement stays tied to that property until it's refinanced or paid off — which can block your next $0-down purchase. Texas's owelty of partition lien, written into the decree, helps the spouse keeping the home refinance the equity buyout. Sort the mortgage before the decree is final.
Buying above the conforming limit
With full entitlement, the VA imposes no loan limit on a $0-down purchase — qualification, not a cap, sets your ceiling. The VLB program tops out at $832,750, so veterans shopping above that figure typically lean on the federal VA side, where higher amounts remain possible with no down payment.
