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.

No monthly mortgage insurance — ever

Unlike conventional loans with less than 20% down, VA and Texas Vet loans carry no monthly PMI. On a typical Texas home that's often $150–$250 saved every month, money that stays with your family instead of an insurer.

VLB land loans for Texas veterans

Beyond home loans, the Texas Veterans Land Board offers a land loan that lets eligible veterans buy acreage in Texas — often with as little as 5% down — even when traditional banks won't finance raw land. It's a benefit unique to Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a VA IRRRL streamline refinance?

A fast refinance for existing VA loans — usually no appraisal, a reduced 0.5% funding fee, and limited re-documentation. You need 210 days and six payments on the current loan, and the savings must recoup your costs within 36 months.

Are VA loans assumable?

Yes — a buyer can assume your VA loan and its rate with servicer approval. If the buyer isn't an eligible veteran substituting entitlement, your entitlement stays tied up until the loan is paid off, so weigh that before agreeing.

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.

How much is the VA funding fee?

The VA funding fee generally ranges from about 1.5% to 3.3% of the loan amount and can be financed into the loan. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation, Purple Heart recipients, and eligible surviving spouses are exempt.

Can I refinance a Texas Vet (VLB) loan?

No, the VLB home loan is for purchases only. If rates fall later, you'd refinance through your federal VA loan benefit, which does allow it.

Can I buy a condo with a VA loan?

Yes, if the condo project is VA-approved. Many Texas projects already are, and lenders can request approval for ones that aren't — just build extra time into your contract.
