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.

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.

Stacking the VLB program with your VA benefit

You don't have to choose. Many Texas veterans pair the VLB program's discounted, weekly-set rate with the VA loan's $0 down and no PMI — getting a lower rate AND no money down on the same purchase. The right structure depends on your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I have to move into the home?

VA and Texas Vet purchase loans require owner-occupancy. You'll generally need to occupy the home within about 60 days of closing and keep it as your primary residence.

Can I buy a multi-unit property with a VA loan?

Yes — you can buy up to a four-unit property with a VA loan as long as you occupy one of the units as your primary residence.

Does the VLB offer a home improvement loan?

Yes. The VLB home improvement loan can finance repairs and upgrades on your existing primary residence with fixed terms. Some project types are excluded, so confirm scope eligibility before signing contractor agreements.

Can I use my VA benefit more than once?

Yes. The VA home loan benefit can be reused, and your entitlement can be restored as you pay down or sell a prior VA-financed home.

What happens to my VA loan in a divorce?

You stay liable until the loan is refinanced, paid off, or assumed with a release. If your ex keeps the home and the loan, your entitlement stays tied to it. A Texas owelty lien written into the decree can help the spouse keeping the home refinance the buyout.

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.
