$0-down VA and Texas Vet loans across Kaufman County

Eligible veterans buy with no down payment, skip monthly mortgage insurance, and — if rated 30% or more disabled — unlock an additional rate discount.

Kaufman County at a glance
In Kaufman County, the typical home was listing around $339,999 as of May 2026 and the median household income is about $90,670 (2024). Against those numbers, the Texas Vet program's below-market rate and $0-down structure are exactly what help local veterans afford a home.
Why Kaufman County veterans choose the Texas Vet program
- A reusable benefit that travels with you to your next Texas home
- No monthly mortgage insurance (PMI), unlike most conventional loans
- Up to $832,750 financed on a fixed 15, 20, 25, or 30-year term
- Below-market VLB interest rates, re-set the first business day of every week
If you're a veteran or military family buying in Kaufman County, a quick eligibility check shows this week's VLB rate and whether stacking it with your VA benefit beats a straight VA loan.
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.
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.
Benefits for spouses and surviving spouses
Spouses can co-borrow, and unremarried surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from a service-connected disability may be able to use the VA home loan benefit themselves — including the funding-fee exemption.
