Overview Of VA Loan Requirements In Texas

One of the most commonly asked questions is whether military spouses have eligibility for Texas Veteran Loans. As it turns out, the answer is yes. Surviving spouses can apply for eligibility certificates. It must be noted that certain requirements have to be met however. Eligibility is only granted if you have not remarried. If you remarried but have since divorced, you can still apply, but the marriage must be completely dissolved at the time of your application. Whether it ended in divorce or even death, your application will be accepted.

VA lenders tend to look at debt to income ratio of an individual when determining if they should be granted a Texas Veteran Loan. The resulting figure will take the amount that’s paid towards debt each month into full consideration, while also comparing the loss versus the gross monthly income. The VA will only look at the debt payments in their entirety instead of separating the likes of housing expenses. This is quite a bit different from other lenders. Eligibility for a loan is most common if the debt to income ratio is under 41 percent. Individuals with higher ratios still have successful applications quite regularly however. In order to see if you qualify, you should discuss your income with the lender of your choice. On a case by case basis, they may be able to make certain allowances.

The amount that can be borrowing for a VA mortgage differs from lender to lender, but Texan Veteran Loans VA loans alike cap the amount at $424,100. It’s not impossible to receive more if necessary however. You simply have to ask for a VA Jumbo Loan in that case. When choosing which lender to work with in order to obtain your VA mortgage, the amount you need is going to be a major factor.

VA Loan Requirements

Texas Veteran Loans are quite similar to VA mortgages, and their eligibility requirements are also largely the same. But as the name suggests, Texas Veteran Loans can only be applied for if you currently reside in the state of Texas. Even if you served outside of the state, you must show the intention of remaining in Texas as a resident after your service is over. Similar to a VA mortgage, Teas Veteran Loans include financial, military, credit score, and housing requirements, all of which must be met for eligibility.

If you are trying to receive a VA loan within the state of Texas and you need to know if your eligibility has been affected, any disability will have no impact on the VA loan as long as the standard requirements are in place. It’s possible that you could be exempt from the requirement of active service if you had an honorable discharge, but again, the matter can be discussed further with the VA. VA lenders will occasionally count allowances for disability as effective income. Service connected disabled veterans are generally excluded from the VA funding fee, which makes the VA loan a wonderful choice for any disabled veteran.

When considering all of the various aspects of applying for either a VA or Texan Veteran Loan, you should save yourself a lot of time and money alike. You’ll also be able to move through the entire process hassle free.
