I've worked with Chris Lederer for well over a decade. He's always made the loan process seamless and goes the extra mile for his clients. His approach, service, and dedication to his clients makes you feel like you've known him your entire life. He's been able to coach myself and other people I know through the loan process and also help them with credit advice or referrals to fix credit for people that don't instantly qualify. I highly recommend working with Chris; you won't be sorry.Posted on Mandy DicktenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t ever writes reviews, but working with James honestly made the homebuying process way easier than I expected. He explained everything clearly, stayed on top of every detail, and somehow kept things calm even when the stress hit. I never felt lost or in the dark — and that’s saying a lot. What stood out most was how real he is. No fluff, no pressure, just straight-up support from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who actually listens and doesn’t treat you like a number, James is the one to go to. Highly recommend him to anyone serious about buying a home — especially if you want someone in your corner who actually cares.Posted on Gary LarsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thank you James your a rock starPosted on Josie SolisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to this time. Long story short—Brett Dempsey was AWESOME. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and uncertainty, but Brett was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. His communication was excellent—always prompt, clear, and patient, which made a huge difference for me. After a terrible experience with another lender at New American Funding, Brett turned everything around. He not only got us into our home, but also saved us a lot of money. He and his team truly exceeded our expectations. We’re so thankful!Posted on TommyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shawn D. and the team at Lone Star Financing are the best mortgage professionals you could ask for. Shawn was able to help us get a mortgage when no other lenders could, due to our unique circumstances. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and has the highest integrity.

Benefits of a VA Home Loan
VA home loans offer a range of benefits, including the ability to purchase a home with zero down payment and competitive interest rates, which can significantly reduce your upfront costs and monthly payments. With no private mortgage insurance (PMI) required, you’ll save even more over the life of the loan.
- No Down Payment: One of the most significant benefits is the ability to finance up to 100% and have zero down payment. We offer Zero down 100% Finance Options.
- No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Unlike conventional loans, VA home loans do not require PMI, which can save you hundreds of dollars each month.
- Competitive Interest Rates: VA loans often come with lower interest rates compared to conventional loans in Texas, which can result in lower monthly payments and less money spent over the life of the loan.
- No Prepayment Penalties: You can pay off your VA loan early without prepayment penalties.
- Credit Requirements: At Lone Star Financing we can go down to 620 FICO for Texas VA loans. This is a much lower credit qualification than other loans in Texas.
- Assumable Loans: VA loans, much like FHA loans in Texas, are assumable, meaning that if you sell your home, the buyer can take over your existing VA loan, which could be a great selling point.
Additionally, VA loans come with flexible credit requirements, making homeownership more accessible, and feature protective measures against foreclosure. These advantages make VA home loans an exceptional choice for veterans, active-duty service members, and their families looking to secure a stable and affordable home.
