Buying a home in Val Verde County as a veteran doesn't have to start with a big down payment. Between the VLB program's below-market rate and the VA loan's $0-down, no-PMI structure, Val Verde County veterans often keep tens of thousands in their pockets. Pairing the VLB loan with your VA benefit means a discounted rate and zero down on the same home. Whether you're buying in Del Rio or elsewhere in Val Verde County, a local specialist can map your options.

Full entitlement means no loan limit
If you have full VA entitlement, there's no VA-imposed cap on a $0-down purchase — you're limited only by what you can afford. Partial entitlement (from another active VA loan) caps zero-down buying power at the county limit, $832,750 in most of Texas for 2026.
Benefits for spouses and surviving spouses
Spouses can co-borrow, and unremarried surviving spouses of veterans who died in service or from a service-connected disability may be able to use the VA home loan benefit themselves — including the funding-fee exemption.
Texas property tax breaks for disabled veterans
Texas rewards service with property tax exemptions that grow with your VA disability rating, up to a full homestead exemption for veterans rated 100% disabled. On top of a discounted Texas Vet rate, this can save thousands every year you own the home.
Yes — it's possible to have one active loan in each VLB program (home, land, and home improvement) at the same time, if you qualify for each.
Do disabled veterans get a Texas property tax exemption?
Yes. Texas offers property tax exemptions that scale with your VA disability rating, and veterans rated 100% disabled may qualify for a total homestead property tax exemption. This is separate from the loan but a major ongoing savings.
What is full vs. partial VA entitlement?
With full entitlement there's no VA-imposed loan limit on a $0-down purchase. Partial entitlement (if you have another active VA loan) caps your zero-down power at the county conforming limit — $832,750 in most Texas areas for 2026.
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.
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.
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.
