I wish there had been a resourceful Web site like TxHomePrograms.org when I was buying my first house. That was 15 years ago, though … not much real estate info on the Internet.
TxHomePrograms.org is a site sponsored by the Texas Association of REALTORS® that helps prospective homebuyers find any assistance programs that pertain to them.
Knowing what I know now, there's a good chance my wife and I did meet the standards for downpayment assistance or a lower interest rate or some other type of available buyer incentive. Which brings me back to TxHomePrograms.org. You can visit the site to easily find out if there's an assistance program for you. Believe me, that's better than wondering later if you could've saved some money.
Maybe you're sitting there assuming you don't qualify for anything … perhaps you're not a first-time buyer or you think your income's too high. You could be right. Then again …
You can go to TxHomePrograms.org, plug in some information about yourself, and see what comes up. Or you can view the comprehensive list of available programs any explore any that interest you.
There are programs based on where you live and your income, programs for veterans, programs for first-time buyers, programs for buyers with disabilities, and more. It's worth a few minutes of your time to check it out.
