Building a Forever Home with a VA One-Time Close Construction Loan
When a retired Veteran in Ralls, TX envisioned a peaceful, long-term home for family gatherings and aging in place, they turned to the VA One-Time Close Construction Loan to make it happen. With land already in hand and a trusted local builder by their side, the dream home is now taking shape — with no down payment and no private mortgage insurance required.
This single-close VA construction loan combined the cost of building and converting into a permanent mortgage, making the entire process smoother and more affordable.
