Why McMullen County veterans choose the Texas Vet program
- Loan officers who specialize in veteran lending in McMullen County and across Texas
- No monthly mortgage insurance (PMI), unlike most conventional loans
- Use it to buy a home — the VLB also offers Texas land and home-improvement loans
- Below-market VLB interest rates, re-set the first business day of every week
Tilden and the rest of McMullen 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.
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.
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.
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.
