Wish I would have read these reviews before I started this process. It’s been horrible! The amount of paperwork needed for a $20k loan is insane. The contractor is too involved. Why is there an inspection??? Or why does the contractor have to go to closing? I’ll never recommend them ever.

I would give tvlb a zero stars period but the system doesn't allow it...smh. These guys have no communication, they assign you an agent which you call him and you get no answer, no email, nothing. They dragged for a month with zero comms. Horrible experience!!! I went with an ag credit union to get my loan it took them only a week from start to finish. I was like this is the way it gets done!!!

I should have heeded the advice of the other reviewers! Useless, terrible, and ignorant to the law and how it works regarding veterans married to active duty service members! . If you're thinking of giving them a chance don't! Not only are they ignorant about these matters, they are smug in their ignorance.

Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! Never use this service! They have zero customer service. The process to buy a home using the VA is a smoother process than securing a home improvement loan from the VLB. Just go through your local credit union if you are able.

Call VLB and ask them. Do they have a couple of different programs.

How do I find out about funerals for homeless vets with no family in my area? Veterans need to be honored when they are buried.

Hi Tommie, we agree with you, which is why our Texas State Veterans Cemeteries have the Unaccompanied Veterans Program for Veterans who have no next of kin. You can find out more here: https://medium.com/texas-veterans-blog/unaccompanied-veterans-program-laid-to-rest-with-honor-and-dignity-92ff7536ca4e and you can follow our cemetery Facebook pages to stay up to date on upcoming services for unaccompanied Veterans.

We have had a loan with the VLB for over 2 years now. Just found out today that VLB does not report payments to any credit reporting agency. Why is that?

Adam Johnson | Nov 1, 2018
Anne Evenson | Nov 1, 2018

Hi Adam, we don't report to credit agencies because in the event that a Veteran is having trouble with their payments we don't want it to hurt their credit. You can request a statement from the VLB and submit it to the credit agencies yourself though.

Currently I have a VA home loan. Can I also qualify for a veteran land loan as well?

Serapio Garza | Nov 1, 2018
Steven Anderson | Nov 1, 2018

Land size has to be one acre or more, wirh or without a structure, but landboard will not finance any buildings on the land... After a Veteran obtains land, there are renovation loans or Federal VA loans to improve or build a house...
