VA & Texas Vet home loans for Webb County veterans
Veterans across Webb County use the Texas Vet (VLB) program to compete in today's market — a weekly, state-set rate that often beats the open market, with the VA benefit layered on for no down payment. VLB rates are set weekly by the state and frequently land below the open market. Our partner loan officers serve veterans from the county seat of Laredo to every community across Webb County.
Webb County at a glance
In Webb County, the typical home was listing around $258,875 as of June 2026 and the median household income is about $58,736 (2024). For a veteran buying here, a $0-down Texas Vet or VA loan means that price needs no down payment, and the below-market VLB rate keeps the monthly payment within reach.
Why Webb County veterans choose the Texas Vet program
- Use it to buy a home — the VLB also offers Texas land and home-improvement loans
- An extra rate discount for veterans with a 30%+ service-connected disability rating
- Up to $832,750 financed on a fixed 15, 20, 25, or 30-year term
- The VA funding fee waived entirely for qualifying disabled veterans
Laredo and the rest of Webb County fall under the same statewide VLB program — the rate is set by the state, not marked up by a local lender, so where you buy in Texas doesn't change the headline rate.
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.
Credit matters less than you think
The VA sets no hard minimum credit score. Lenders often look for around 620, but the program's residual-income test — money left over after your bills — is generous, which is why many veterans qualify when conventional lenders say no.
Using your benefit on a brand-new home
Buying a completed new build from a builder works seamlessly with the Texas Vet and VA programs — same $0-down, no-PMI structure, plus a one-year builder warranty on most new homes. Building custom takes a VA construction loan or interim financing, and a VLB land loan can hold your homesite while plans come together.
