Your Home. Your Strategy. Your Options.
Buying a home may feel overwhelming, but you do not have to figure it out alone. Kim and Sheri are here to help educators explore available homebuying and financing options—including programs that may help reduce the amount needed upfront.
Down Payment Assistance for Texas Educators
The Homes for Texas Heroes Program, offered through the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation, may provide eligible Texas educators with down payment assistance and other homebuying benefits.
Eligible professions may include:
Teachers and teacher aides
School counselors
School nurses
School librarians
Applicants must meet applicable program, employment, income, credit, property, and loan requirements. Eligible educators must work in a Texas public K–12 school.
Depending on eligibility, available benefits may include:
Fixed-rate mortgage options
Down payment assistance
Assistance of up to 5% of the loan amount
A Mortgage Credit Certificate that may provide an annual federal income-tax credit
Multiple loan and assistance options based on the borrower’s needs
Program availability, benefits, and qualification requirements are subject to change.
1% Lender Credit Program
Qualified borrowers may be eligible to receive a lender credit of up to 1% of the loan amount to help offset allowable closing costs.
For example, on a $400,000 loan, a 1% lender credit could provide up to $4,000 toward eligible closing costs.
This option may help:
Reduce the cash needed at closing
Keep more money available for moving and homeownership expenses
Give qualified buyers additional flexibility
The lender credit may not be redeemed for cash or combined with certain other incentives. Restrictions apply, and not all borrowers will qualify.
Let’s Find the Right Path for You
