Buying above the conforming limit
With full entitlement, the VA imposes no loan limit on a $0-down purchase — qualification, not a cap, sets your ceiling. The VLB program tops out at $832,750, so veterans shopping above that figure typically lean on the federal VA side, where higher amounts remain possible with no down payment.
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.
Stacking the VLB program with your VA benefit
You don't have to choose. Many Texas veterans pair the VLB program's discounted, weekly-set rate with the VA loan's $0 down and no PMI — getting a lower rate AND no money down on the same purchase. The right structure depends on your situation.
