Home Loans: Texas

78% of recent buyers relied on a Texas mortgage lender during their home-buying process — which is no surprise with the median home price in the Lone Star being $336,700.

Home loans let you finance your purchase in installments: you’ll repay the initial loan over a set period, typically 15, 20, or 30 years. The size of your monthly payment will depend on many factors, including the purchase price, interest rate, and mortgage insurance.

Find the Perfect Texas Mortgage to Buy the Home of Your Dreams

We recognize that the purchase or refinancing of a property can be challenging, particularly for a first-time homebuyer. Many borrowers worry about affordability since few people have the savings to cover a home's full listing price.

Our team of experienced professionals is here to guide you through the refinance or home-buying process and help you find the right Texas mortgage for your needs.

Texas Home Loans Factors

The types of Texas home loans you can qualify for depend on several factors but we're here to help you with all of them.
  • Credit Scores

    Your FICO score has a major impact on what kind of Texas mortgage you can access. The higher your score, the better chance you have of being approved and getting good interest rates. For a conventional Texas mortgage, lenders look for a score of 620 or above. Luckily, this isn’t an issue for many Texans: the average score in the Lone Star state is an impressive 680.

  • Primary residence

    Loans for primary residences are typically more affordable than loans for second homes or investment properties. This is because lenders usually consider first homes to be lower risk for mortgage lending.

  • Current Financial Status

    Depending on your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, you’ll be able to get different kinds of Texas home loans. If you have a low DTI, you’ll be able to consider conventional loans or jumbo loans.

    However, if you have higher debt, you may consider a government home loan program, such as FHA loans. FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration, offering lower down payment and qualifying credit requirements.

  • History of Military Service

    VA loans are backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. They are for veterans, active-duty service members, and military spouses.

    A VA loan offers great benefits. Typically, VA loans have lower interest rates, flexible credit guidelines, and capped closing fees, but don’t require mortgage insurance or down payments.

  • Your Profession

    The Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation may help you afford a mortgage if you’re in one of the Hero Professions. The government-supported organization makes Texas home loans more accessible to firefighters, EMS personnel, police officers, nurses and other professions in the Lone Star state.

  • Down Payment and Closing Costs

    When buying a home, you usually cannot cover the entire cost of the process with your loan. You also need to provide money upfront, which will be a percentage of the property’s total cost.

    The exact amount varies based on what type of mortgage you qualify for and other factors relating to the property itself and your personal finances.

    Closing costs are fees associated with the purchase of a home. These include appraisal fees, real estate agent fees, title insurance, and more.

Why Use District Lending

Finding the perfect Texas home loans for your situation and budget can be difficult.

Our team has extensive experience in the Texas housing market and will assist you in navigating mortgage options and gathering required documentation to ensure a smooth home-buying experience. We'll also help you find programs to reduce your overall mortgage expenses.
  • Down Payment Assistance

    The average Texan puts 13% down, but this can still be challenging for families, especially given the high price of housing here. Our experts can help you explore assistance programs available in Texas to make homeownership more accessible, such as Two Home Buyer Programs or a First-Time Home Buyer mortgage interest tax credit.

    As one of the top mortgage lending companies in the Lone Star state, we know all there is to know about loan programs here. Your loan officer will help you choose the right Texas mortgage option for you, whether that’s a conventional mortgage, an FHA loan, or a VA loan. We’ll also assist you in identifying a good term for your needs, whether that is a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage or an adjustable-rate choice.

  • Refinance Guidance

    If mortgage rates have decreased or your financial situation has improved since your first home loan, you may consider refinance.

    To refinance is to obtain a new loan through your mortgage lender with better terms to pay off the existing loan. This can lead to lower monthly payments, a shorter term, or access to equity. Whether you want a cash-out refinance to use for repairs to your primary residence, or you want to buy a second home with your savings, we’ll be there for you every step of the way.

  • Credit Score Education

    Your FICO score plays a vital role in qualifying for a home loan. Our team can provide guidance on improving your credit score and maximizing your eligibility, whether that is through a Credit Service Organization registered with the Texas Department of State, or getting you in touch with consumer education through the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner.

  • Closing Cost Assistance

    There are fees due at the start of your Texas mortgage, and they can sometimes be challenging for buyers. We can roll these into your mortgage to help reduce upfront costs.

  • Personal Assistance from a Texas Mortgage Lender

    We’ll support you in finding the right loans and explain all the programs available to you, such as the Mortgage Credit Certificate Program to reduce your taxes. We can also connect you with Housing and Urban Development options in your area.

  • Pre-Approval

    Get pre-approved for a home loan to understand your budget and strengthen your offer. Our loan officers will look at your debt-to-income ratio and credit score to determine how much you can borrow.

  • Helpful Mortgage Calculators

    With our mortgage calculators, you can explore the factors that go into monthly costs before speaking to a loan officer, so you’re prepared to start looking for the perfect property.
