How It Works
VA Loan Process
in El Paso.
Obtain Your COE
Your Certificate of Eligibility confirms your VA entitlement to lenders. ProGen can walk you through obtaining it via eBenefits, mail, or your lender. Takes 1–3 days online.
Get Pre-Approved
Connect with a VA-specialized lender. They review your income, credit, and entitlement to issue a pre-approval letter. This is your buying power document — required before making offers.
Find a VA-Eligible Property
Most homes qualify, but the property must meet VA Minimum Property Requirements (MPRs). Single-family homes, condos on the VA-approved list, and multi-family properties (up to 4 units if you occupy one) all qualify.
VA Appraisal
Once under contract, a VA-assigned appraiser evaluates the home for value and MPR compliance. In El Paso, appraisals typically take 10–15 business days. ProGen knows which issues commonly arise in desert properties and prepares accordingly.
Close in 30–45 Days
VA closings follow a similar timeline to conventional — with the right team. ProGen coordinates all VA-specific addenda, the termite inspection (required in Texas), and closing logistics to hit your report date.
El Paso Specifics
VA Appraisal Issues
in Desert Homes.
El Paso's desert climate creates unique property conditions that occasionally complicate VA appraisals. ProGen knows what to look for before you make an offer — preventing surprises that delay or kill deals.
Roof Condition
VA appraisers are strict about roof integrity. El Paso's intense UV exposure ages roofs faster than other markets. ProGen always reviews roof age and condition before making offers on older homes.
Evaporative Cooler Condition
Many El Paso homes use swamp coolers instead of traditional HVAC. VA appraisers require all mechanical systems to be functional. We verify cooler condition during initial tours to prevent surprises.
Exposed Wiring & Peeling Paint
VA MPRs flag exposed wiring and peeling paint (especially in pre-1978 homes for lead paint). These are negotiable repair credits — ProGen knows how to handle them without killing the deal.
Water Heater Strapping
Texas requires water heaters to be strapped for earthquake and tip-over safety. Missing straps are a common VA flag and an easy fix — but sellers must be notified in time.
