Occupancy: this is for your home

VA and Texas Vet purchase loans are for primary residences. You'll generally move in within 60 days of closing and keep the home as your primary residence — they aren't for investment properties, though you can buy a multi-unit home and live in one unit.

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.

Roll energy upgrades into your VA loan

The VA's Energy Efficient Mortgage option lets you add up to $6,000 for qualifying improvements — insulation, efficient HVAC, solar screens and the like — onto a purchase or refinance. In a Texas summer, efficiency upgrades pay for themselves in utility bills, and this folds them into one fixed payment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my VA loan in a divorce?

You stay liable until the loan is refinanced, paid off, or assumed with a release. If your ex keeps the home and the loan, your entitlement stays tied to it. A Texas owelty lien written into the decree can help the spouse keeping the home refinance the buyout.

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 I refinance a Texas Vet (VLB) loan?

No, the VLB home loan is for purchases only. If rates fall later, you'd refinance through your federal VA loan benefit, which does allow it.

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.

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 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.
