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.
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.
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.
