Program Benefits

• A 30-year fixed interest rate mortgage loan, several rates and loan options available
• Down payment assistance (DPA) 3% to 5% of the loan amount
• You do not have to be a first-time homebuyer
• DPA provided as a grant (never needs to be repaid) or repayable second lien loan
• Available statewide through a network of participating lenders. TSAHC does not require borrowers to use an approved REALTOR®, however we provide several resources to help find a REALTOR® familiar with TSAHC’s programs.

First-time buyers can also apply for a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC).  Texas Heroes who use our DPA and MCC assistance together will receive their MCC for free—a $500 savings!
