Think you need $20,000+ saved before you can buy? Not necessarily. Several loan programs let Texas buyers purchase with zero down payment — and we offer all of them.

Zero Down Loan Programs in Texas

VA loans — 0% down — for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses. No down payment, competitive rates, no PMI.
USDA loans — 0% down — for homes in eligible rural and suburban areas. Much of the Katy-area growth corridor qualifies.
Texas down payment assistance — TSAHC and TDHCA programs can cover your down payment with grants or forgivable second liens for qualifying buyers.
100% conventional financing — select lenders offer 100% financing programs for buyers with strong credit.

Who Qualifies for a Zero Down Mortgage?

Eligibility depends on the program — military service for VA, home location for USDA, income limits for Texas assistance programs. In practice, more buyers qualify than expect to. A 10-minute call tells you which programs fit your situation.
