$0-down VA and Texas Vet loans across Mills County
Veterans and military families in Mills County have a real advantage when buying a home: the Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) program paired with the federal VA benefit. Together they can mean $0 down, no monthly PMI, and a discounted fixed rate the state sets every week. Disabled veterans may also qualify for Texas property tax exemptions worth thousands a year. We work with veteran buyers throughout Mills County, including Goldthwaite and the nearby communities.

Understanding the VA funding fee
The VA funding fee (about 1.5%–3.3% of the loan) replaces monthly mortgage insurance and helps keep the program running. It can be rolled into your loan, and if you receive VA disability compensation you're exempt entirely — one of the biggest reasons disabled veterans save so much.
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.
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.
