I want to thank you for the wonderful and informative videos that you have posted about the current house buying market (2021). You were very helpful and instrumental while I was in the housing market. It was through your videos (and one other significant persons videos) that I was able to understand some important aspects about the home buying process. The 2021 housing market was very tough and tougher for a V.A. buyer. Your videos helped me to understand how to navigate in that difficult market. I learned many things by watching your videos and was a step ahead of my real estate agent with one or two issues. This allowed me to be a more informed homebuyer and I was able to pass on some great information to my agent that was helpful in closing my deal. Thank you again for posting wonderful and informative videos.
Doing a good job keep it up
Great video
This video reminded me of this program. Thank you. I was going to empty my IRA to fund a down payment but this may work much better.

Thank you for this video... are you able to accept multiple down payment grants?
Hello, Nicole! Thanks for the video. Are there any loan programs in Arkansas that assist with the down payment on a secondary residence? Are there any types of government grants for a secondary residence if you're planning to sell your primary home within a few months after purchasing the secondary residence? For example, if you're moving from another state, and you're not quite ready to sell your house yet, but you want to have a home in Arkansas ready to move into. Not sure how all this works--it's new to me.
Nicole, once again your awesome. Stay beautiful

Hi Nicole I'm in Ca do you know of any down payment assistance programs for DACA recipients? (Authorized non permanent resident. Category C33) Any help would be much appreciated!
Can you stack up these grants or Do I have to choose only one.
can you get down payment assistance with a USDA loan? I know you don't need a down payment for usda, but to avoid paying pmi can you still get the assistance to cover the rest of the 20% needed for a down payment?
Where and how do I apply? How much time does it take to get the assistance and where in the application process should I apply?

Hi! So should we try to look for assistance first or try to get prequalified from a lender first? Is getting assistance something to tell the lender to better our options?

Yes! The best first step to take for buying a house is to get pre-qualified! Different lenders may have different down payment assistance programs available. So I would recommend calling a few and asking about no downpayment options up front!

Hey Joshua! TSAHC has DPA as well as their MCC (Mortgage Credit Certificate program) for first time home buyers. There are some lenders and realtors that just do not handle many buyers using DPA so they are not educated on the programs. I would go to www.tsahc.org/homebuyers-renters/homes-for-texas-heroes-program and look at their lender list for local lenders that can advise you best on what programs you qualify for! Let me know if you have any more questions! Best of luck.

You can usually find out if you qualify within a few days of submitting an application. Then, the loan will take around 45 days to process and close before you will be able to move into your home!
