Manufactured and modular homes qualify
A VA loan can finance a manufactured home built to HUD code on a permanent foundation and titled as real property — in Texas, via a Statement of Ownership filed with the TDHCA. Modular homes are even simpler: the VA treats them like site-built houses on standard terms.
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.
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.
