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.
Texas acreage with 5% down
The VLB land loan is the only program of its kind in the nation: eligible Texas veterans finance tracts of one acre or more — currently up to $200,000 — with as little as 5% down on a fixed term. Banks rarely touch raw land on those terms, and the 30%+ disability rate discount applies here too.
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.
