    Buying a Home in New Braunfels With a VA Loan

    New Braunfels is the trade many military families make: a longer commute in exchange for more home and a different school district. A VA loan gets you there with zero down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance.

    New Braunfels sits up I-35 from San Antonio, a longer but very common commute for JBSA-Randolph families who want more house and Comal ISD schools.

    With full VA entitlement there is no loan limit in Comal County or anywhere else — you can borrow what you qualify for with zero down. Limits only apply if your entitlement is reduced by a prior VA loan.

    Yes. VA loans allow you to close before you report as long as you intend to occupy the home, generally within 60 days of closing. We close in about 21 days on average, so we can line up the timing to your orders.

    Most standard single-family homes do. The home must be your primary residence and pass a VA appraisal for value and minimum property requirements. Short-term rental properties and second homes do not qualify.
