Get answers from Adam Bartling, your trusted Army Veteran Loan Officer in Arlington.

1 What credit score do I need for a VA loan in Arlington?
While the VA doesn’t set a minimum credit score, most lenders require 580-620. Adam Bartling & Team work with borrowers with various credit profiles to find solutions. Call 713-301-0007 to discuss your options—no upfront credit check required!
2 How much can I borrow with a VA loan in Arlington?
With full entitlement, there’s no VA loan limit in Arlington—borrow as much as a lender will approve based on your income and creditworthiness, all with no down payment! With Arlington’s median home price around $350,000, your VA benefit provides significant purchasing power in the DFW market.
3 Can I compete in Arlington’s housing market with a VA loan?
Absolutely! Arlington’s market has homes averaging 45 days on market, giving buyers reasonable negotiating time. VA loans are strong offers, and Adam provides verified pre-approval letters that Arlington sellers and agents respect for on-time closings.
4 What is the VA Funding Fee and can it be waived?
The VA Funding Fee is 2.15% for first-time purchase with $0 down (0.5% for IRRRL). Great news: Veterans with 10%+ service-connected disability, Purple Heart recipients, and surviving spouses are completely exempt—potentially saving over $7,500 on an Arlington home!
5 Can I build a new home in Arlington with a VA loan?
Yes! The VA One-Time Close Construction Loan allows you to build your dream home anywhere in the Arlington area with all VA benefits—$0 down on new construction! Perfect for building in Viridian or new developments in South Arlington.
6 Can I do a cash-out refinance with my VA loan in Texas?
Important: Cash-Out Refinances are NOT available in Texas for VA loans due to Texas Constitution Section 50(a)(6). However, Adam Bartling & Team can discuss conventional alternatives that comply with Texas law to help you access home equity.
7 How long does it take to close a VA loan in Arlington?
Most VA purchase loans close in 30-45 days. IRRRLs can close in 2-3 weeks. VA construction loans typically take 45-60 days. Adam’s efficient process with Movement Mortgage often beats these timelines!
8 Can I use my VA loan benefit more than once?
Yes! Your VA loan benefit can be used multiple times throughout your lifetime. You can even have two VA loans simultaneously in certain situations—perfect for veterans upgrading in Arlington’s growing market or PCS moves.
9 Do I need private mortgage insurance (PMI) with a VA loan?
Never! VA loans do not require PMI regardless of your down payment. This saves Arlington veterans $150-$300+ per month compared to conventional loans—potentially $54,000+ over the life of a 30-year loan.
10 What is a VA IRRRL and how does it work?
The Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL), also called a “Streamline Refinance,” lets you refinance your existing VA loan to a lower rate with minimal paperwork, no appraisal in most cases, and only a 0.5% funding fee. If rates drop, this is the fastest way to save money!
11 What types of properties can I buy with a VA loan in Arlington?
VA loans work for: single-family homes, townhomes, VA-approved condos, manufactured homes (permanent foundation), and 1-4 unit properties (you must occupy one). The property must be your primary residence. Perfect for Arlington’s diverse housing from Viridian estates to Lake Arlington waterfront!
12 How do I get my Certificate of Eligibility (COE)?
Adam Bartling can pull your COE electronically in minutes—often while you’re on the phone! You can also request it through eBenefits or by mail using VA Form 26-1880. Your COE confirms your eligibility and shows your remaining entitlement.
13 Can my spouse’s income help me qualify for a VA loan?
Yes! Your spouse’s income can be included in the loan application, even if they’re not a veteran. This is especially helpful for dual-income Arlington families. Adam can structure the loan to maximize your purchasing power in the competitive DFW market.
