Issuing Conditional Commitments once Appropriated Funds are Exhausted Back in business with the USDA Funding. I never even had a chance to write about it, but for weeks there were fears that “the USDA was running out of money.” Most my motivated clients were sure to close before funding would have been exhausted.

Thumbnail image for USDA and Texas Veterans Land Board 2010 Update

The #2 and #3 most visited pages here at My Denton County Real Estate are the articles that have made me the authoritative REALTOR in North Texas for USDA Rural Development Loans and the Texas Veterans Land Board. Driven by Google searches as seen here and here I felt the need to reassure visitors in 2010 interested in either of these loan programs the information written here is still valid and up-to-date.

February 11, 2009

I have been itching to write a new article on the new stimulus package, and how it will effect future home buyers, first-time homebuyers and hopefully even move-up / downsizing buyers in Denton County real estate. Home sellers will also have reason to rejoice if buyers who are sitting on the fence, or just need a little more incentive can be nudged along.

Buying a Home with the Texas Veterans Land Board Program (TVLB)

January 8, 2009

n continuing my series of articles concerning Texas Affordable Housing; I will break-down the Texas Veterans Land Board Programs. This is an incredible program, and should not be confused with a Veterans Administration (VA) Home Loan. This is a loan program for buying a home, land, or home improvement specifically to benefit the more than 1.7 million civilian Veterans in Texas, and those that want to reside in Texas when leaving active duty.
