Renovating Your House

What is it?

The Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) will lend eligible Texas veterans up to $25,000 for up to 20 years on a fixed-rate note to make substantial repairs to their existing primary residence. No down payment is required. For loans of $10,000 or less, the maximum term of the loan will be 10 years. All loans are FHA-insured.  Veterans with qualifying service-connected disabilities may be eligible for an interest rate reduction.
