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.
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.
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.
