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.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a VA loan take to close?

Most VA loans close in about 30–45 days — comparable to conventional loans. Getting your COE early and responding quickly to document requests keeps it on schedule.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Will a VA appraisal kill my deal?

VA appraisals focus on safety, soundness, and value — not cosmetics. Most pass without issue, and when there are repairs, they're usually minor and negotiable.
