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.
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.
Why VLB rates are set weekly
The Texas Veterans Land Board adjusts its rate on the first business day of each week, and because it's a state-backed program the rate is frequently below the open market. It's worth checking the current week's rate before you lock.
