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.
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.
Can I have more than one VLB loan at once?
Yes — it's possible to have one active loan in each VLB program (home, land, and home improvement) at the same time, if you qualify for each.
When do I have to move into the home?
VA and Texas Vet purchase loans require owner-occupancy. You'll generally need to occupy the home within about 60 days of closing and keep it as your primary residence.
Can I build a new home with my VA benefit?
Yes. VA one-time-close construction loans fund the land, build, and permanent mortgage in a single closing, often with $0 down. A licensed builder and fixed-price contract are required; fewer lenders offer the product, so shop carefully.
Do disabled veterans get a Texas property tax exemption?
Yes. Texas offers property tax exemptions that scale with your VA disability rating, and veterans rated 100% disabled may qualify for a total homestead property tax exemption. This is separate from the loan but a major ongoing savings.
Can I use my VA benefit more than once?
Yes. The VA home loan benefit can be reused, and your entitlement can be restored as you pay down or sell a prior VA-financed home.
