Why Potter County veterans choose the Texas Vet program
- A reusable benefit that travels with you to your next Texas home
- Loan officers who specialize in veteran lending in Potter County and across Texas
- An extra rate discount for veterans with a 30%+ service-connected disability rating
- The VA funding fee waived entirely for qualifying disabled veterans
Amarillo and the rest of Potter County fall under the same statewide VLB program — the rate is set by the state, not marked up by a local lender, so where you buy in Texas doesn't change the headline rate.
Texas property tax breaks for disabled veterans
Texas rewards service with property tax exemptions that grow with your VA disability rating, up to a full homestead exemption for veterans rated 100% disabled. On top of a discounted Texas Vet rate, this can save thousands every year you own the home.
Using your benefit on a brand-new home
Buying a completed new build from a builder works seamlessly with the Texas Vet and VA programs — same $0-down, no-PMI structure, plus a one-year builder warranty on most new homes. Building custom takes a VA construction loan or interim financing, and a VLB land loan can hold your homesite while plans come together.
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.
