How Midland veterans buy with the Texas Vet program

Whether you're looking in Greathouse, Grafa, Legends Park, Saddle Club or elsewhere around Midland, the program works the same across the Midland–Odessa (Permian Basin) region.

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.

Buying above the conforming limit

With full entitlement, the VA imposes no loan limit on a $0-down purchase — qualification, not a cap, sets your ceiling. The VLB program tops out at $832,750, so veterans shopping above that figure typically lean on the federal VA side, where higher amounts remain possible with no down payment.

Understanding the VA funding fee

The VA funding fee (about 1.5%–3.3% of the loan) replaces monthly mortgage insurance and helps keep the program running. It can be rolled into your loan, and if you receive VA disability compensation you're exempt entirely — one of the biggest reasons disabled veterans save so much.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build a new home with my VA benefit?

Yes. VA one-time-close construction loans fund the land, build, and permanent mortgage in a single closing, often with $0 down. A licensed builder and fixed-price contract are required; fewer lenders offer the product, so shop carefully.

Can I buy a condo with a VA loan?

Yes, if the condo project is VA-approved. Many Texas projects already are, and lenders can request approval for ones that aren't — just build extra time into your contract.

What's the difference between the Texas Vet loan and a VA loan?

The Texas Vet (VLB) loan is a state program with weekly, below-market rates; the VA loan is a federal benefit with $0 down and no PMI. Many Texas veterans combine both for the best of each.

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.

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.
