Question
First-time home buyer grants in Texas?
Does anyone know of any grants for first-time home buyers in Texas? My wife is a school teacher, and we live in a "GO" zone (Hurricane Rita - Hardin County). I have found a few online, but we make too much to be approved (about $80k /yr) for the ones I've seen.

If your wife is a school teacher, you should check into the Good Neighbor Next Door program from HUD. This program allows teachers and police officers to purchase HUD owned homes in certain areas for 1/2 price. If there are acceptable areas, it would definitely be worthwhile to search weekly until you find a suitable home. 50% equity requires some work. www ... Other than that, your income may disqualify you for other grant programs. You are eligible for guaranteed loan programs which do not have an income limitation.

Yes, you can contact the Texas Dept of Housing and Community Affairs to see if you qualify for any of the grants/assistance available from that organization. Check out the link below to learn more. Good luck!
