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.

Build new with a one-time close

VA one-time-close construction loans fund land, construction, and the permanent mortgage in a single closing — often $0 down with full entitlement. You'll need a licensed builder (you can't be your own GC) and a fixed-price contract. If no construction lender fits, build with interim financing and refinance into a VA loan at completion.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 big a tract can the VLB land loan finance?

At least one usable acre, currently up to $200,000 with as little as 5% down on a fixed term — and the 30%+ disability rate discount applies to land loans too.

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.

Can I buy a barndominium with a VA loan in Texas?

Often yes — the home must meet VA property requirements and the appraiser needs comparable sales, which rural Texas has more of than most places. It's a lender-by-lender call worth confirming early.

Is there a minimum credit score for a VA loan?

The VA itself doesn't set a hard minimum, though many lenders look for around 620. Strong residual income and a clean recent history matter as much as the score.

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.
