What Is the DPA Advantage Grant?
The biggest barrier to homeownership for most buyers isn’t the monthly payment — it’s coming up with the down payment and closing costs upfront. Our DPA Advantage Grant eliminates that barrier.
You receive up to 3.5% of the sales price as a forgivable grant. That means it never has to be repaid. Combined with seller-paid closing costs, many of our clients purchase a home with zero money out of pocket.
No income limits. No geographic restrictions within Texas. Available to first-time and repeat homebuyers alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
What credit score do I need for Texas down payment assistance?
Most DPA programs require a 660 credit score, but our DPA Advantage program accepts scores as low as 580. For FHA-backed options, we can work with scores as low as 500 in some cases. VA loan borrowers can qualify with a 580 credit score.
Do I have to pay back the down payment assistance grant?
No. Our DPA Advantage Grant is forgivable — meaning you never have to repay it. It is not a second loan or lien against the property. It is a true grant applied directly to your down payment or closing costs.
Are there income limits to qualify?
No. Our DPA Advantage program has no income limits and no geographic restrictions within Texas. Any buyer — regardless of income level — can apply. Both first-time and repeat homebuyers are eligible.
Can I use DPA with an FHA or VA loan?
Yes. The DPA Advantage Grant can be paired with FHA loans to cover the required 3.5% down payment. VA loans already offer $0 down, but the grant can be applied toward closing costs, potentially making your purchase completely zero out of pocket.
How quickly can I close with down payment assistance?
Our team moves quickly. Once you are pre-qualified and have an accepted offer, we work to close on a standard timeline. The DPA grant is applied at closing — no separate process or waiting period required.
