From Lockhart to the surrounding towns, we help Caldwell County veterans find the right loan and lock a competitive rate.
Why Caldwell County veterans choose the Texas Vet program
- Below-market VLB interest rates, updated weekly
- Extra rate discount for 30%+ disabled veterans, funding fee waived
- $0 down when combined with a VA loan
- Local loan officers who specialize in veteran lending across Caldwell County
Why VLB rates are set weekly
The Texas Veterans Land Board adjusts its rate on the first business day of each week, and because it's a state-backed program the rate is frequently below the open market. It's worth checking the current week's rate before you lock.
Benefits for spouses and surviving spouses
Spouses can co-borrow, and unremarried surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from a service-connected disability may be able to use the VA home loan benefit themselves — including the funding-fee exemption.
Credit matters less than you think
The VA sets no hard minimum credit score. Lenders often look for around 620, but the program's residual-income test — money left over after your bills — is generous, which is why many veterans qualify when conventional lenders say no.
