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.

VLB land loans for Texas veterans

Beyond home loans, the Texas Veterans Land Board offers a land loan that lets eligible veterans buy acreage in Texas — often with as little as 5% down — even when traditional banks won't finance raw land. It's a benefit unique to Texas.

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.

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.

How much is the VA funding fee?

The VA funding fee generally ranges from about 1.5% to 3.3% of the loan amount and can be financed into the loan. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation, Purple Heart recipients, and eligible surviving spouses are exempt.

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.

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.

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.

What happens to my VA loan in a divorce?

You stay liable until the loan is refinanced, paid off, or assumed with a release. If your ex keeps the home and the loan, your entitlement stays tied to it. A Texas owelty lien written into the decree can help the spouse keeping the home refinance the buyout.
