Divorce and your VA entitlement

If your ex keeps the home and the VA loan, your entitlement stays tied to that property until it's refinanced or paid off — which can block your next $0-down purchase. Texas's owelty of partition lien, written into the decree, helps the spouse keeping the home refinance the equity buyout. Sort the mortgage before the decree is final.

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.

Your VA loan is assumable — a hidden selling point

When you sell, a qualified buyer can assume your VA loan and keep its rate, with servicer approval — a serious advantage in a higher-rate market. One caution: unless the buyer is an eligible veteran who substitutes entitlement, yours stays tied to the loan until it's paid off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a VA appraisal kill my deal?

VA appraisals focus on safety, soundness, and value — not cosmetics. Most pass without issue, and when there are repairs, they're usually minor and negotiable.

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.

How long does a VA loan take to close?

Most VA loans close in about 30–45 days — comparable to conventional loans. Getting your COE early and responding quickly to document requests keeps it on schedule.

What is a VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE)?

The COE verifies you meet the VA's service requirements and shows whether you have full or partial entitlement. We can help you pull it quickly — having it ready up front speeds up your approval.

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.

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.
