Texas down payment assistance

Buying a home may require less cash than you think.

Texas homebuyers may have access to state, local, community, and other assistance programs. Eligibility and program structures vary, so reviewing the available options early can be valuable.

  • Programs may help with down payment and eligible closing costs.
  • Some programs are available to repeat buyers as well as first-time buyers.
  • Income, property, occupancy, credit, and loan-program requirements vary.
Start with eligibility — not assumptions.

Many buyers assume they need a large down payment before speaking with a mortgage professional. Reviewing financing and assistance options first can provide a clearer picture.

Texas home equity

Access equity without automatically replacing your first mortgage.

Homeowners with substantial equity may want to compare a HELOC or home equity loan with a cash-out refinance before deciding how to access funds.

  • Keep the existing first mortgage in place when the structure allows.
  • Compare HELOCs, home equity loans, and cash-out refinancing.
  • Understand Texas-specific home equity requirements.
