Funding fee tiers — and who skips them

The VA funding fee runs 2.15% on a first-use purchase with less than 5% down, drops to 1.5% with 5% down and 1.25% with 10% down, and is 3.3% for subsequent use with minimal down. IRRRLs are just 0.5%. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation, Purple Heart recipients, and eligible surviving spouses pay nothing.

Roll energy upgrades into your VA loan

The VA's Energy Efficient Mortgage option lets you add up to $6,000 for qualifying improvements — insulation, efficient HVAC, solar screens and the like — onto a purchase or refinance. In a Texas summer, efficiency upgrades pay for themselves in utility bills, and this folds them into one fixed payment.

Your VA loan is assumable — a hidden selling point

When you sell, a qualified buyer can assume your VA loan and keep its rate, with servicer approval — a serious advantage in a higher-rate market. One caution: unless the buyer is an eligible veteran who substitutes entitlement, yours stays tied to the loan until it's paid off.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Texas Vet loan and a VA loan?

The Texas Vet (VLB) loan is a state program with weekly, below-market rates; the VA loan is a federal benefit with $0 down and no PMI. Many Texas veterans combine both for the best of each.

What is a VA IRRRL streamline refinance?

A fast refinance for existing VA loans — usually no appraisal, a reduced 0.5% funding fee, and limited re-documentation. You need 210 days and six payments on the current loan, and the savings must recoup your costs within 36 months.

How long does a VA loan take to close?

Most VA loans close in about 30–45 days — comparable to conventional loans. Getting your COE early and responding quickly to document requests keeps it on schedule.

How is BAH counted toward qualifying?

Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) can often be counted as effective income toward qualifying, which can meaningfully increase the home price you're approved for.

Do VA loans have monthly mortgage insurance?

No. VA and Texas Vet loans have no monthly PMI, which can save you hundreds of dollars a month compared with a low-down-payment conventional loan.

What are the VA funding fee tiers?

For purchases: 2.15% on first use with less than 5% down, 1.5% with 5-9.99% down, 1.25% with 10%+ down, and 3.3% for subsequent use with less than 5% down. The IRRRL streamline refinance is just 0.5%. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation are exempt.
