Why Cochran County veterans choose the Texas Vet program

A reusable benefit that travels with you to your next Texas home
An extra rate discount for veterans with a 30%+ service-connected disability rating
The VA funding fee waived entirely for qualifying disabled veterans
Up to $832,750 financed on a fixed 15, 20, 25, or 30-year term

Morton and the rest of Cochran County fall under the same statewide VLB program — the rate is set by the state, not marked up by a local lender, so where you buy in Texas doesn't change the headline rate.

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.

Understanding the VA funding fee

The VA funding fee (about 1.5%–3.3% of the loan) replaces monthly mortgage insurance and helps keep the program running. It can be rolled into your loan, and if you receive VA disability compensation you're exempt entirely — one of the biggest reasons disabled veterans save so much.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do disabled veterans get a Texas property tax exemption?

Yes. Texas offers property tax exemptions that scale with your VA disability rating, and veterans rated 100% disabled may qualify for a total homestead property tax exemption. This is separate from the loan but a major ongoing savings.

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.

What is a VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE)?

The COE verifies you meet the VA's service requirements and shows whether you have full or partial entitlement. We can help you pull it quickly — having it ready up front speeds up your approval.

What is full vs. partial VA entitlement?

With full entitlement there's no VA-imposed loan limit on a $0-down purchase. Partial entitlement (if you have another active VA loan) caps your zero-down power at the county conforming limit — $832,750 in most Texas areas for 2026.

Can a VA loan finance a manufactured home?

Yes, if the home was built to HUD code (June 15, 1976 or later), sits on a permanent foundation, and is titled as real property — in Texas that means a Statement of Ownership filed with the TDHCA.

Are VA loans assumable?

Yes — a buyer can assume your VA loan and its rate with servicer approval. If the buyer isn't an eligible veteran substituting entitlement, your entitlement stays tied up until the loan is paid off, so weigh that before agreeing.
