Using your benefit on a brand-new home

Buying a completed new build from a builder works seamlessly with the Texas Vet and VA programs — same $0-down, no-PMI structure, plus a one-year builder warranty on most new homes. Building custom takes a VA construction loan or interim financing, and a VLB land loan can hold your homesite while plans come together.

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.

Manufactured and modular homes qualify

A VA loan can finance a manufactured home built to HUD code on a permanent foundation and titled as real property — in Texas, via a Statement of Ownership filed with the TDHCA. Modular homes are even simpler: the VA treats them like site-built houses on standard terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big a tract can the VLB land loan finance?

At least one usable acre, currently up to $200,000 with as little as 5% down on a fixed term — and the 30%+ disability rate discount applies to land loans too.

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.

Can I buy a condo with a VA loan?

Yes, if the condo project is VA-approved. Many Texas projects already are, and lenders can request approval for ones that aren't — just build extra time into your contract.

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.

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.

Is there a minimum credit score for a VA loan?

The VA itself doesn't set a hard minimum, though many lenders look for around 620. Strong residual income and a clean recent history matter as much as the score.
