Buying above the conforming limit

With full entitlement, the VA imposes no loan limit on a $0-down purchase — qualification, not a cap, sets your ceiling. The VLB program tops out at $832,750, so veterans shopping above that figure typically lean on the federal VA side, where higher amounts remain possible with no down payment.

Occupancy: this is for your home

VA and Texas Vet purchase loans are for primary residences. You'll generally move in within 60 days of closing and keep the home as your primary residence — they aren't for investment properties, though you can buy a multi-unit home and live in one unit.

Already have a VA loan? The IRRRL is your fast lane

The VA's Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) lets you drop your rate with usually no appraisal, limited paperwork, and a reduced 0.5% funding fee. You'll need 210 days and six payments on your current loan, and your costs must recoup through savings within 36 months — a built-in protection that keeps the refinance honest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy a multi-unit property with a VA loan?

Yes — you can buy up to a four-unit property with a VA loan as long as you occupy one of the units as your primary residence.

Can I refinance a Texas Vet (VLB) loan?

No, the VLB home loan is for purchases only. If rates fall later, you'd refinance through your federal VA loan benefit, which does allow it.

Do VA loans have monthly mortgage insurance?

No. VA and Texas Vet loans have no monthly PMI, which can save you hundreds of dollars a month compared with a low-down-payment conventional loan.

When do I have to move into the home?

VA and Texas Vet purchase loans require owner-occupancy. You'll generally need to occupy the home within about 60 days of closing and keep it as your primary residence.

Can I buy a condo with a VA loan?

Yes, if the condo project is VA-approved. Many Texas projects already are, and lenders can request approval for ones that aren't — just build extra time into your contract.

Is there a minimum credit score for a VA loan?

The VA itself doesn't set a hard minimum, though many lenders look for around 620. Strong residual income and a clean recent history matter as much as the score.
