Home loans for Grayson County veterans and military families

Veterans across Grayson County use the Texas Vet (VLB) program to compete in today's market — a weekly, state-set rate that often beats the open market, with the VA benefit layered on for no down payment. VLB rates are set weekly by the state and frequently land below the open market. We work with veteran buyers throughout Grayson County, including Sherman and the nearby communities.

Why Grayson County veterans choose the Texas Vet program

Up to $832,750 financed on a fixed 15, 20, 25, or 30-year term
Use it to buy a home — the VLB also offers Texas land and home-improvement loans
No monthly mortgage insurance (PMI), unlike most conventional loans
An extra rate discount for veterans with a 30%+ service-connected disability rating

Sherman and the rest of Grayson 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.

Texas property tax breaks for disabled veterans

Texas rewards service with property tax exemptions that grow with your VA disability rating, up to a full homestead exemption for veterans rated 100% disabled. On top of a discounted Texas Vet rate, this can save thousands every year you own the home.

Already have a VA loan? The IRRRL is your fast lane

The VA's Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) lets you drop your rate with usually no appraisal, limited paperwork, and a reduced 0.5% funding fee. You'll need 210 days and six payments on your current loan, and your costs must recoup through savings within 36 months — a built-in protection that keeps the refinance honest.

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.

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.

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.

Do VA loans have monthly mortgage insurance?

No. VA and Texas Vet loans have no monthly PMI, which can save you hundreds of dollars a month compared with a low-down-payment conventional loan.

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.

Can I buy a barndominium with a VA loan in Texas?

Often yes — the home must meet VA property requirements and the appraiser needs comparable sales, which rural Texas has more of than most places. It's a lender-by-lender call worth confirming early.
