VA Loan Program

ZERO Out Of Pocket Lender Closing Costs for our Disabled Veterans. Easiest access to housing for our Heroes.

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs

VA Mortgage loans can be guaranteed with no money down and there is no private mortgage insurance requirement. An exclusive benefit for active-duty military personnel, veterans and their families.

 

For our Heroes under disability we offer zero out of pocket lender related closing costs and on a case by case basis as certain conditions may apply, we may be able to offer ALL closing costs included in the loan so you would go at closing with $0.00 out of pocket. Let us serve you now and help you get your dream home.  

Our number one mortgage loan program and our highest dedication owed to America's Heroes. Our Veterans and Military Active-Duty Personnel residing in Texas receive red carpet treatment through our standard VA Loan Programs, VA JUMBO Loan Programs, and our custom VA Mortgage Loans for bad credit.

Clear Lending is in contact with the Houston Regional Loan Center from the Department of Veteran Affairs, receiving updated guidelines affecting the insurability and, thus, the approval of all VA home loans with a credit score of 580.

Our VA mortgage loan programs allow us to secure financing, starting with 580+ credit scores, as well as assist in the search for the perfect house. However, one of the main requirements from our applicants' credit reports history is that none of the agencies, whether Experian, Transunion, or Equifax, report late payments over 30 days within the last 12 months. On a case-by-case basis, we may be able to still approve loans regardless of late payments within the previous 12 months as long as the borrower can document specific reasons other than financial mismanagement.

For those applicants with credit challenges such as unpaid collection accounts, old outstanding debts, or home loan foreclosure (or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure) in an applicant's or spouse's credit history does not in itself disqualify the loan. Please let us analyze your credit in-depth and work your options even if a central bank or financial institution has denied your loan.

At Clear Lending, we are proud of having served thousands of VA loans and negotiated the purchase transaction details helping VA applicants close homes with very little or no closing costs. For instance, a recent close of a 3,000+ sq. Ft. And 10-acre lot property required a VA Jumbo Loan of over $453,100 (2024 update - For year 2024 limit is increased $766,550) and only needed $3,350 at closing. This loan scenario is one reason why Clear Lending is one of the leading VA lenders in Texas with the best interest rates specializing in VA loans for bad credit.

We help veterans obtain the Certificate of Eligibility (COE), which is the only reliable Proof of Eligibility to close the loan. Although eligible for the home loan benefit, veterans must still qualify based on income and credit before underwriting grants loan approval. The great news is the debt-to-income ratios can go to 60% if other conditions apply.

Furthermore, if you have student loans and their repayments are deferred for over 12+ months, you don't need to be considered in the analysis for qualification giving greater flexibility and chances for approval. Don't worry and let us analyze your loan options.

    FROM GOOGLE: There’s only few people out there that would go ABOVE and BEYOND for a Customers needs! Words cannot express my deep appreciation for having found Joan Gallardo! Let’s just say, I was on the verge of loosing a big financial investment, I was dealing with a Lender that put me in a big financial strain as they kept delaying my closing date, I had zero confidence with the Lender and decided to find another source! I literally was expecting only a Miracle from above as at this stage of my loan I had less than 3 weeks to close on my home. When I say Joan was Godsend it’s a definite and true statement! I explained my situation to him in the hopes of a lender closing my loan with such short notice! Joan diligently worked on my loan day and night to meet the deadline! Who does that?!! No one really but Time was no barrier for him! 1am, 2am it didn’t matter, he worked on it! He almost even drove to the Lender I was using office location! I’ve never known someone as dedicated to their customer! I gave Joan a deadline of 10/31! Honestly I only expected a miracle to meet the deadline! Well thank God I’m overwhelmed and HAPPY to say today 10/31 I received my final closing docs and I’m a homeowner!! Please take my experience with Joan for anyone out there looking for a Lender or even a real estate agent JOAN GALLARDO is your Guy! He cares for his customers is dedicated and will do Everything in his willpower to get you into a house! Don’t settle for any promises of lenders out there! Do your due diligence first don’t fall into a situation as mine. I was thankfully blessed with an Amazing Loan officer and please be assured he will take care of all your needs or questions during your home loan and or home search process. I’m so grateful to have found him. If you need a home loan NOW, a prompt and highly knowledgeable loan officer contact JOAN GALLARDO!!
