• DPA available for up to 5% of the loan amount
• You do not have to be a first-time homebuyer
• 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.
• Income limits vary by county. Expanded income and purchase price limits available in targeted areas.

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! *Some exclusions apply. Contact a lender to learn more.
