Getting Started
NO FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER REQUIREMENT
The SETH 5 Star Program provides down payment and closing cost assistance for your home purchase. The program also provides a 30 year fixed rate mortgage. Mortgage options include FHA, USDA, VA and Conventional financing. Maximum amount of assistance provided is 5% of your loan amount. Assistance is provided in the form of a forgivable community second loan, forgiven after 3 years. Grants are available with select FHA loan types and also for Charter Level Income Conventional loan products. Our Loan Officers can help you decide which option is the best choice for you.
This program is available in Texas but outside of Travis County and the city limits of El Paso, McKinney and Grand Prairie. Buyers must be income eligible (see below) and will be required to complete the SETH on-line Homebuyer Education Course.
