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.

Divorce and your VA entitlement

If your ex keeps the home and the VA loan, your entitlement stays tied to that property until it's refinanced or paid off — which can block your next $0-down purchase. Texas's owelty of partition lien, written into the decree, helps the spouse keeping the home refinance the equity buyout. Sort the mortgage before the decree is final.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
