VA loan myths, shot down
Do I need money down to buy in Texas?
Many eligible veterans can use a VA loan with no down payment. Your lender confirms what you qualify for.
Does the VA set a minimum credit score?
The VA does not set one, but individual lenders may. A VA experienced lender helps you find the right fit.
Can I use my VA loan more than once?
Often yes, if you have entitlement remaining. Entitlement can be restored after a sale. We walk through your situation on the free call.
Do all veterans pay the VA funding fee?
No. Veterans with a service connected disability rating of 10 percent or higher and Purple Heart recipients are generally exempt.
Do disabled veterans get Texas property tax relief?
Texas offers property tax exemptions for eligible disabled veterans, and veterans rated 100 percent disabled can qualify for a full homestead exemption. Your county appraisal district confirms what applies.
Do sellers avoid VA offers?
A well written VA offer is a strong offer. I write yours with clean terms and a pre approval sellers trust.
Who pays my realtor?
Compensation depends on your agreement and the offer. I explain every option before you sign anything.
You earned these benefits. Don't leave them on the table.
