Home loans for Young County veterans and military families
Veterans across Young 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. We work with veteran buyers throughout Young County, including Graham and the nearby communities.

Why Young County veterans choose the Texas Vet program

Veterans across Young County use the Texas Vet program to buy with little or no money down at a below-market rate; the check confirms what you qualify for in about a minute.
No monthly mortgage insurance — ever
Unlike conventional loans with less than 20% down, VA and Texas Vet loans carry no monthly PMI. On a typical Texas home that's often $150–$250 saved every month, money that stays with your family instead of an insurer.
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.
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.
