He always responded very quickly with our requests, he would come back with different options with comparison chart to clearly indicate how much we need for down payment, monthly payments, interest rates, closing costs etc.

--- Tom Troiano - Atlantic City, NJ



Image

He's nothing short of a miracle!

I'm a self-employed businessman and had him figure out the mortgage of the house after 30% down payment. The interest rates I received were incredibly low given what I had thought of earlier. One other important thing to note was that I hadn't really taken any loans earlier, so I had no credit history. He helped me out with all that as well so I can't really call him anything else but a miracle.



--- Fran Suarez - Cleveland, OH


Image

He's really helpful!

I made a bid to him and the very same day he gave me an offer which I couldn't resist. It was too intimidating with those incredibly low interest rates and all, thoroughly recommend him.

Bill was great!

Bill made us feel like a friend all the way thru the process. He was patient and explained everything he needed clearly. He was available ANYTIME we had questions or needed more information. Hopefully we won’t go thru this process again anytime soon, but if we do - we’d choose Bill! =)


--- Barbra & Nick Grimmer - Austin, TX


Image

Great broker!

Bill was a great broker to work with. As first time home buyers we had many questions about the process, Bill took the time to help us even calling us back on weekends with answers. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a broker to work with.

FHA 203 H Loan Product


The Section 203(h) program allows the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to insure mortgages made by qualified lenders to victims of a major disaster who have lost their homes and are in the process of rebuilding or buying another home.


Purpose:


Through Section 203(h), the Federal Government helps victims in Presidentially designated disaster areas recover by making it easier for them to get mortgages and become homeowners or re-establish themselves as homeowners.


Type of Assistance:


This program provides mortgage insurance to protect lenders against the risk of default on mortgages to qualified disaster victims. Individuals are eligible for this program if their homes are located in an area that was designated by the President as a disaster area and if their homes were destroyed or damaged to such an extent that reconstruction or replacement is necessary. Insured mortgages may be used to finance the purchase or reconstruction of a one-family home that will be the principal residence of the homeowner. Like the basic FHA mortgage insurance program it resembles (Section 203(b) Mortgage Insurance for One to Four Family Homes), Section 203(h) offers features that make recovery from a disaster easier for homeowners:


No down payment is required. The borrower is eligible for 100 percent financing. Closing costs and prepaid expenses must be paid by the borrower in cash or paid through premium pricing or by the seller, subject to a 6 percent limitation on seller concessions.


FHA mortgage insurance is not free. Mortgagees collect from the borrowers an up-front insurance premium (which may be financed) at the time of purchase, as well as monthly premiums that are not financed, but instead are added to the regular mortgage payment.


HUD sets limits on the amount that may be insured. To make sure that its programs serve low and moderate income people, FHA sets limits on the dollar value of the mortgage. The current FHA mortgage limit can be viewed online. These figures vary over time and by place, depending on the cost of living and other factors (higher limits also exist for two to four family properties).


Eligible Customers:


Anyone whose home has been destroyed or severely damaged in a Presidentially declared disaster area is eligible to apply for mortgage insurance under this program.


Application:


The borrower's application for mortgage insurance must be submitted to the lender within one year of the President's declaration of the disaster. Applications are made through an FHA approved lending institution, who make their requests through a provision known as "Direct Endorsement," which authorizes them to consider applications without submitting paperwork to HUD. Mortgage insurance processing and administration for this and other FHA single family mortgage insurance products are handled through HUD's Homeownership Centers.

🎖️ Texas Veterans: Your VA Loan Can Do More Than Just Buy a Home 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 TX VA Loan Benefits: $0 Down Purchase, IRRRL, Construction & Renovation Options 🏡

🇺🇸 TX VA Loan Benefits: $0 Down Purchase, IRRRL, Construction & Renovation Options 🏡

🎖️ Texas Veterans: Your VA Loan Can Do More Than Just Buy a Home 🇺🇸


Texas VA Loans Offer More Options Than Many Veterans Realize

For eligible Veterans, active-duty service members, and qualifying surviving spouses, the VA home loan benefit can be one of the most powerful mortgage programs available in Texas.

Most borrowers know about the traditional VA purchase loan. What many don't realize is that VA financing can potentially do much more.

Depending on the property, borrower, lender, and transaction, VA-backed financing can be used to purchase a home, refinance an existing VA mortgage through an IRRRL, build a new home, or purchase/refinance a property that needs renovations. The VA specifically identifies buying, building, and improving a home as eligible uses of the VA home loan benefit.

For Texas Veterans, understanding these options can make the difference between simply asking, "Can I get a VA loan?" and finding the VA financing structure that actually fits your goals.

🇺🇸 1. Standard VA Purchase Loans in Texas

The traditional VA purchase loan remains one of the program's biggest advantages.

Qualified borrowers may be able to purchase with no down payment, subject to entitlement, qualification, appraisal, and lender requirements. VA loans also don't require monthly private mortgage insurance.

VA-backed purchase financing can potentially be used for a single-family residence, a VA-approved condominium, certain manufactured homes, and even properties containing as many as four units when applicable VA requirements are satisfied.

That makes VA financing particularly compelling for Texas buyers who want to preserve cash rather than putting a large amount of money into a down payment.

Another important consideration is the VA funding fee. Many borrowers pay a one-time funding fee, but certain eligible Veterans and other borrowers are exempt. The exact amount depends on factors including the loan type, down payment, and previous use of the benefit.

💰 2. VA IRRRL: Streamlining an Existing VA Mortgage

Already have a VA loan?

The VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan, commonly called an IRRRL or VA streamline refinance, is designed specifically for refinancing an existing VA-backed mortgage.

An IRRRL may make sense when it can help a homeowner reduce the mortgage payment through a lower rate or create greater payment stability by refinancing from an adjustable-rate mortgage into a fixed-rate loan.

One of its biggest attractions is the streamlined process. VA guidance states that an appraisal or traditional credit underwriting package isn't required by the VA for an IRRRL, although individual lenders can impose their own requirements. An IRRRL also doesn't provide cash back to the borrower.

Closing costs can potentially be incorporated into the new mortgage, and the current VA funding fee for an IRRRL is 0.50% for borrowers who aren't exempt.

The key isn't simply whether today's rate is lower. The transaction needs to make financial sense after considering the payment savings, closing costs, loan balance, and time required to recoup those costs.

🏗️ 3. VA Construction Loans: Build Your Texas Home

What if the home you want doesn't exist yet?

VA financing can potentially be used to construct a primary residence.

VA guidelines permit both one-time-close and two-time-close construction loans.

With a one-time-close structure, construction financing and permanent financing are established through a single closing. A two-time-close transaction generally involves initial construction financing followed by permanent financing after construction.

This can be particularly attractive in Texas, where buyers may want to purchase land and build rather than compete for an existing home.

However, VA construction financing is more specialized than a standard VA purchase. The builder, plans, specifications, appraisal, inspections, construction budget, draw process, property and lender all become important parts of the transaction.

Not every VA lender offers construction financing, either.

That's where working with a mortgage broker familiar with specialized VA lending can be especially valuable.

🛠️ 4. VA Renovation Loans

Suppose you find the right location but the wrong house.

Instead of automatically walking away from a property because it needs repairs, a VA renovation loan may provide another option.

VA guidelines permit alteration-and-repair financing that can allow improvements to be incorporated into an eligible VA purchase or qualifying refinance transaction and completed after closing. Funds are then disbursed to the contractor during the renovation period.

That could potentially open the door to properties that need updating rather than limiting your search to completely finished homes.

Renovation transactions require additional coordination because the improvements, contractor, appraisal, draws, inspections, and VA minimum property requirements must all be addressed.

Why Work With a Mortgage Broker for a Texas VA Loan?

VA establishes the framework for its home loan guaranty program, but private lenders make VA-backed mortgages, and their pricing, requirements, and available programs can differ. VA itself encourages borrowers to compare lenders because terms and fees vary.

This distinction becomes especially important when you're considering specialized financing such as VA construction or renovation loans.

At Medallion Funds, our objective isn't simply to quote a mortgage rate. It's to help identify a financing structure that matches your property and long-term goals.

Whether you're purchasing your first Texas home, refinancing an existing VA mortgage, building from the ground up, or buying a property that needs renovation, understanding the available options is the first step.

Ready to Explore Your Texas VA Loan Options?

If you've earned your VA home loan benefit, don't assume you're limited to a traditional purchase mortgage.

Standard Purchase. IRRRL. Construction. Renovation.

The right option depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
