Limestone County at a glance

Why Limestone County veterans choose the Texas Vet program

No monthly mortgage insurance (PMI), unlike most conventional loans
Below-market VLB interest rates, re-set the first business day of every week
Use it to buy a home — the VLB also offers Texas land and home-improvement loans
A reusable benefit that travels with you to your next Texas home

Groesbeck and the rest of Limestone County fall under the same statewide VLB program — the rate is set by the state, not marked up by a local lender, so where you buy in Texas doesn't change the headline rate.

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.

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.

Using your benefit on a brand-new home

Buying a completed new build from a builder works seamlessly with the Texas Vet and VA programs — same $0-down, no-PMI structure, plus a one-year builder warranty on most new homes. Building custom takes a VA construction loan or interim financing, and a VLB land loan can hold your homesite while plans come together.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

Can I buy a barndominium with a VA loan in Texas?

Often yes — the home must meet VA property requirements and the appraiser needs comparable sales, which rural Texas has more of than most places. It's a lender-by-lender call worth confirming early.

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.

What are the VA funding fee tiers?

For purchases: 2.15% on first use with less than 5% down, 1.5% with 5-9.99% down, 1.25% with 10%+ down, and 3.3% for subsequent use with less than 5% down. The IRRRL streamline refinance is just 0.5%. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation are exempt.

Can I use a Texas Vet loan for land?

Yes. The Texas Veterans Land Board offers a separate land loan that lets eligible veterans buy land in Texas — often with as little as 5% down — which most conventional lenders won't finance.
