I’m currently rebuilding my life after overcoming addiction, I have gotten my credit score up to a 650. I am considering options for using my VA home loan and am honestly clueless where to start. I am currently 100% T&P due to TDIU and trying to keep a mortgage payment at a comfortable place that doesn’t eat up more than around $1500 (at most) of my monthly benefits. I am looking at homes in the TX area to utilize the no property taxes for veterans. And looking at homes for around $300k. What can I expect? Does all this sound do able? What things should I be wary of? Has anyone else gone through a similar process they can offer insight for me?
