★ What you earned

How the VA loan works for Dallas buyers.

The VA home loan is one of the strongest benefits you earned. According to the VA, VA backed purchase loans do not require a down payment or monthly mortgage insurance. Veterans who receive VA compensation for a service connected disability are exempt from the VA funding fee.

In Texas, veterans who receive 100 percent VA disability compensation may qualify for a full property tax exemption on their homestead, according to the Texas Comptroller. That can make a big difference in what owning a home in Dallas really costs each month.

★ Dallas VA loan FAQ

Straight answers.

Can I buy a home in Dallas with no down payment using a VA loan?

The VA does not require a down payment on VA backed purchase loans. Your lender sets its own credit and income requirements, and your entitlement and the home price matter. I'll help you understand your options before you shop in Dallas.

Do VA loans have monthly mortgage insurance?

No. According to the VA, VA backed purchase loans do not require monthly mortgage insurance (PMI).

Who is exempt from the VA funding fee?

According to the VA, you do not pay the funding fee if you receive VA compensation for a service connected disability, among other exemptions. Your lender can confirm your status on your Certificate of Eligibility.

Do disabled veterans pay property taxes in Texas?

Texas offers a full residence homestead exemption for veterans who receive 100 percent VA disability compensation for a service connected disability, either from a 100 percent rating or individual unemployability, according to the Texas Comptroller. Veterans with lower ratings may qualify for a partial exemption. Check with your county appraisal district.

Do you work with VA buyers outside Dallas?

Yes. I serve veterans and military families across Texas, including Dallas, DeSoto, Duncanville, Cedar Hill, Grand Prairie, Mesquite, Garland and Irving.
