Our Promise

No Minimum
Credit Score

The VA sets no minimum — and neither do we.

VA Guidelines As Written

While most lenders add 620+ credit score overlays, we follow the VA handbook exactly as written — focusing on your residual income, payment history, and overall financial health. We've approved veterans with scores below 500.

  • No Credit Score Minimum — We follow VA guidelines, not bank overlays
  • $0 Down Payment — 100% VA financing available
  • BAH Counted As Income — We gross up your tax-free housing allowance

Debunking Lackland AFB PCS & BAH Myths

✕ The Myth
"My BAH isn't enough to qualify near Lackland."
✓ The Truth
BAH is tax-free and lenders can gross it up — most E-5s and above with dependents can comfortably afford a home in Alamo Ranch or Westover Hills.
✕ The Myth
"BAH is different at Lackland than at Randolph or Fort Sam Houston."
✓ The Truth
All three JBSA installations share the same San Antonio Military Housing Area — your BAH is identical no matter which JBSA base you're assigned to.
✕ The Myth
"Buying doesn't make sense with BMT's constant churn."
✓ The Truth
Permanent-party personnel and instructor cadre at Lackland often serve multi-year tours, and a VA loan has no prepayment penalty if orders change.
