Funding fee tiers — and who skips them

The VA funding fee runs 2.15% on a first-use purchase with less than 5% down, drops to 1.5% with 5% down and 1.25% with 10% down, and is 3.3% for subsequent use with minimal down. IRRRLs are just 0.5%. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation, Purple Heart recipients, and eligible surviving spouses pay nothing.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Texas Vet loan and a VA loan?

The Texas Vet (VLB) loan is a state program with weekly, below-market rates; the VA loan is a federal benefit with $0 down and no PMI. Many Texas veterans combine both for the best of each.

How is BAH counted toward qualifying?

Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) can often be counted as effective income toward qualifying, which can meaningfully increase the home price you're approved for.

Can a VA loan finance a manufactured home?

Yes, if the home was built to HUD code (June 15, 1976 or later), sits on a permanent foundation, and is titled as real property — in Texas that means a Statement of Ownership filed with the TDHCA.

Are VA loans assumable?

Yes — a buyer can assume your VA loan and its rate with servicer approval. If the buyer isn't an eligible veteran substituting entitlement, your entitlement stays tied up until the loan is paid off, so weigh that before agreeing.

What is a VA IRRRL streamline refinance?

A fast refinance for existing VA loans — usually no appraisal, a reduced 0.5% funding fee, and limited re-documentation. You need 210 days and six payments on the current loan, and the savings must recoup your costs within 36 months.

What are the VA funding fee tiers?

For purchases: 2.15% on first use with less than 5% down, 1.5% with 5-9.99% down, 1.25% with 10%+ down, and 3.3% for subsequent use with less than 5% down. The IRRRL streamline refinance is just 0.5%. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation are exempt.
