Thinking About Buying a Home in Texas? Don’t Make These Costly Mistakes!
Buying your first home is exciting, but without the right knowledge, it can also be overwhelming. Texas is one of the hottest real estate markets, and as a first-time buyer, you need to be prepared. Here’s what you need to know:
- Texas Mortgage Programs: First-time buyers can benefit from My First Texas Home and TSAHC programs, offering down payment and closing cost assistance.
- Pre-Approval vs. Pre-Qualification: Pre-approval gives you real buying power, while pre-qualification is just an estimate.
- Property Taxes & Hidden Costs: Texas has no state income tax, but property taxes are higher than most states.
- Home Inspection is a Must: Avoid expensive surprises by thoroughly inspecting your home before purchasing.
