Down Payment Assistance Program

Up to $30,000 for down payment and/or closing costs.

Government & Conventional

Are you ready to buy your dream home but still missing enough savings for a down payment? We can help!

 

So, you make the income, can afford the monthly payment, have saved some money, but need help with down payment and closing costs?

You are in the right place. Clear Lending can help you obtain Down Payment Assistance regardless of whether you are a First Time Home Buyer or not!

The Down Payment Assistance Program provides the maximum amount of up to $30,000. Funds can be used toward your down payment and reasonable closing costs. Under this program, you would be able to choose amongst a 30-year fixed-rate FHA, VA, USDA, and Conventional mortgage loan, whichever you can qualify. In case you wonder about the mortgage loan you would be getting, there is no pre-payment penalty or federal recapture tax for the mortgage loan.

Please note currently Clear Lending offers this program only in the following counties:

- Harris County

Another essential requirement to obtain our Down Payment Assistance Program is that it requires our preferred real estate office from HoustonDesignHomes.com to negotiate the purchase and, thus, the contract of the chosen house. This process requires a non-refundable application fee of $590.00 to the real estate company.

Our preferred agents are experienced Texas Real Estate Commission Licensed Sales Agents knowledgeable about the entire process. From the home search process to complete purchase contract documents, inspection, and closing, our agents will guide you, giving peace of mind for a successful experience. Once you apply online will provide you with a detailed explanation about the process.

The following are some essential details about the Down Payment Assistance Program:

- First Time Homebuyer or lost a house during Harvey hurricane requirement.
- Non-Occupant Borrowers are OK.
- Property types can only be 1-4 Single Family Residence, Townhouse/Condo.

    Would recommend 1000%!!!!! What an experience! Called Joan about buying a home and within 2 months, we looked at A LOT of homes, found one we loved, and closed within 30 days. Before calling Clear lending, I was stressed about the home buying process due to the COVID virus, never thought we would be able to close during a pandemic. Joan made the home buying experience simple and straightforward, answering all questions via phone and WhatsApp, and we also made sure to send all needed documentation in, when requested, to ensure a smooth close... The closing process was stressful due to the anticipation of wanting the process to come to an end, however, that's normal and Joan was readily available answering my never-ending questions. Joan truly cares about his clients and was in my corner throughout the process. Superexcellent home buying experience and a great person to work with. Thanks, Joan/clear lending!!!!

    FROM GOOGLE: There’s only few people out there that would go ABOVE and BEYOND for a Customers needs! Words cannot express my deep appreciation for having found Joan Gallardo! Let’s just say, I was on the verge of loosing a big financial investment, I was dealing with a Lender that put me in a big financial strain as they kept delaying my closing date, I had zero confidence with the Lender and decided to find another source! I literally was expecting only a Miracle from above as at this stage of my loan I had less than 3 weeks to close on my home. When I say Joan was Godsend it’s a definite and true statement! I explained my situation to him in the hopes of a lender closing my loan with such short notice! Joan diligently worked on my loan day and night to meet the deadline! Who does that?!! No one really but Time was no barrier for him! 1am, 2am it didn’t matter, he worked on it! He almost even drove to the Lender I was using office location! I’ve never known someone as dedicated to their customer! I gave Joan a deadline of 10/31! Honestly I only expected a miracle to meet the deadline! Well thank God I’m overwhelmed and HAPPY to say today 10/31 I received my final closing docs and I’m a homeowner!! Please take my experience with Joan for anyone out there looking for a Lender or even a real estate agent JOAN GALLARDO is your Guy! He cares for his customers is dedicated and will do Everything in his willpower to get you into a house! Don’t settle for any promises of lenders out there! Do your due diligence first don’t fall into a situation as mine. I was thankfully blessed with an Amazing Loan officer and please be assured he will take care of all your needs or questions during your home loan and or home search process. I’m so grateful to have found him. If you need a home loan NOW, a prompt and highly knowledgeable loan officer contact JOAN GALLARDO!!
