 *October 2009*

 On Tuesday, October 27, 2009, the Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) will once again offer forfeited land tracts to eligible Texas veterans in a sealed-bid sale.  

What's New:

• All winning bids will be originated as a mortgage loan with a Note and Deed of Trust.  Winning bidders must meet VLB credit requirements if obtaining VLB financing.
• Closing costs and a down payment of not less than 5% of the minimum bid listed will be required at closing.  The VLB can only finance 95% of the minimum bid listed up to $80,000.00. In addition, any amount you bid over the minimum listed must be paid at closing, if you are obtaining VLB financing.

• ALL BIDS must be received by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, October 26, 2009 (the day before the sale).  No walk-in bids will be accepted on the day of the sale.
• There is a limit on the number of bids you may submit.  You may bid on a total of six tracts in the Forfeited Land Sale and you must list your choice preferences on each bid.
• The sale will be available for viewing via webcast.  Live viewing is not guaranteed, as we have a limited number of connections.  The webcast will be archived and available on our Web site approximately 24 hours after the sale.
