VA & Texas Vet home loans for Hartley County veterans
For Hartley County veterans, the road to homeownership runs through two programs worth knowing well: the Texas Veterans Land Board and the federal VA loan. Combine them and you get a state-discounted rate with no down payment required. Your VA entitlement can be restored and reused, so the benefit is there for your next move too. Our partner loan officers serve veterans from the county seat of Channing to every community across Hartley County.

Understanding the VA funding fee
The VA funding fee (about 1.5%–3.3% of the loan) replaces monthly mortgage insurance and helps keep the program running. It can be rolled into your loan, and if you receive VA disability compensation you're exempt entirely — one of the biggest reasons disabled veterans save so much.
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.
Full entitlement means no loan limit
If you have full VA entitlement, there's no VA-imposed cap on a $0-down purchase — you're limited only by what you can afford. Partial entitlement (from another active VA loan) caps zero-down buying power at the county limit, $832,750 in most of Texas for 2026.
