If you're a veteran or military family buying in Gaines County, a quick eligibility check shows this week's VLB rate and whether stacking it with your VA benefit beats a straight VA loan.

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.

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.

Your VA loan is assumable — a hidden selling point

When you sell, a qualified buyer can assume your VA loan and keep its rate, with servicer approval — a serious advantage in a higher-rate market. One caution: unless the buyer is an eligible veteran who substitutes entitlement, yours stays tied to the loan until it's paid off.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 a friend or partner co-borrow on my VA loan?

A spouse or another eligible veteran can co-borrow normally. A non-spouse civilian co-borrower makes it a 'joint loan' needing prior VA approval and usually a down payment on the civilian's share — possible, but plan ahead.
