    You going to use the Fed. VA program or the Texas Vet program?? Two seperate things. I've used both. They have improved the Texas Vet program to reflect current home values. I think the Fed VA might offer a better (lower) rate but the Texas Vet people are very helpful and local. Actually you could use both at the same time... Use the Fed for your home and use the Texas Vet for some land for your new range! MG

    I don't remember if it was valoans.com or which, but their rates were high. I think I still get a newsletter from them and will let you know.


    Keep this in mind ... it's one thing to afford a payment and quite another to maintain, heat, cool, and pay taxes on top of that payment.

    I'll look into both of them. IIRC the fed program is more like a loan guarentee or backup to the lender should you default on the mortage. And if i remember if you sell the house to another Vet, you can use the program again. Totally new to house shopping and everything involved.

    dcav, it doesn't have to be another vet.. as long as the loan is repaid in full you can get another cert. for another loan. The Tx. Vet program will loan money for a home or for land. And again, if it is paid in full, you can use it again. MG

    The VA program is nothing mortgage insurance.
    They set some basic rules.
    No more than $xxx,xxx.xx
    No more than 12 acres if I remember correctly

    There are some perks that recoup the bad
    There is a limit that your allowed to pay for closing costs and a few other I don't remember.
