$0-down VA and Texas Vet loans across Freestone County

Veterans and military families in Freestone County have a real advantage when buying a home: the Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) program paired with the federal VA benefit. Together they can mean $0 down, no monthly PMI, and a discounted fixed rate the state sets every week. VLB rates are set weekly by the state and frequently land below the open market.

Why Freestone County veterans choose the Texas Vet program

No monthly mortgage insurance (PMI), unlike most conventional loans
Loan officers who specialize in veteran lending in Freestone County and across Texas
Below-market VLB interest rates, re-set the first business day of every week
$0 down when the Texas Vet rate is paired with your federal VA loan benefit

Fairfield and the rest of Freestone 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.

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.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

Can my spouse be a co-borrower?

Spouses can be co-borrowers on these programs, and surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from a service-connected disability may be eligible to use the benefit themselves.

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.

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.

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.
