Frequently Asked Questions
What credit score do I need to buy a first home in Texas?
There is no single number. Different programs have different minimums, and credit score is only one factor alongside income stability, debt load and available funds. We review your full picture rather than screening on one figure. Contact us and we will tell you where you stand.
Do I need a large down payment for my first home?
Not necessarily. Several programs are designed around lower down payments, and Texas offers down payment assistance for eligible buyers. What you need depends on the program, the property and your qualifications. See our down payment assistance page for the options available in Texas.
How long does it take to buy a first home?
From application to closing, a straightforward purchase commonly runs several weeks. Timing depends on how quickly documentation is provided, the appraisal schedule and the terms of your contract. Getting your documents together early is the single biggest thing you control.
Should I get preapproved before house hunting?
Yes. A preapproval tells you what you can realistically look at and shows sellers you are a serious buyer. In competitive Texas markets an offer without one is frequently passed over. Preapproval is not a commitment to lend and does not obligate you to proceed.
