Frequently asked questions

Some of the most commonly asked questions when applying for a Texas VA home loan.

Short answer is no. You don't have to be a first-time home buyer to use your VA home loan benefits. You're able to use a VA loan as many times as you want as long as you have enough entitlement and meet the eligibility requirements, with it being your primary residence. Many veterans use their VA loan multiple times throughout their life even if the entitlement isn't fully recovered.
The VA doesn't explicitly say that you have to have a minimum credit score although most lenders will go down to a 580. Most of the time when you get to a score that low, your rate will go up but you should still be eligible for a VA home loan.
Under Texas Tax Code Section 11.131, veterans with a 100% service-connected disability rating (or designated 100% Individually Unemployable / P&T) by the VA are exempt from 100% of all Texas property taxes on their primary residence homestead. Surviving spouses may also qualify.
The VA home loan is designed to help veterans buy their primary residence. However, you can buy a multi-family property up to four units and rent out the other units, provided you occupy one of the units as your primary home.
Yes, definitely. The unmarried surviving spouse of a veteran who died while in service or from any service-connected disability could be eligible for VA loan benefits. Surviving spouses are also exempt from the VA funding fee.
