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.

    Thank you soooo much Joan, Patricia and Samantha for helping us purchase our first home ever. My wife and I are so thankful there are no words to express the joy we feel each time we open the door of our house. I say to my wife… wait is this our house? Then I remember that yes, we just closed few days ago…. LOL. Jokes aside everything you Joan have done for us ever since day one is beyond any words of appreciation. In our case, we truly feel you have been godsent. I still remember the day my wife and I went to Wells Fargo to be told our chances were very limited due to my taxes’ deductions and so we needed to wait 2 possibly 3 years???? My own bank Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase, Capital One and God knows how many places we tried. Each one gave us similar reasons but at the end the message was that we didn’t qualify and zero instructions. Well yes, the instructions were that our taxes didn’t reveal the true picture and health of my business operations. Great and now what? Nothing. And so, I stopped searching. Sometime later after talking to a client about my hopeless attempt to buy a house, he told me about a loan officer who showed up from time to time in the radio station offering home loan programs traditional banks would not offer. And so, I started googling until I found Clear Lending. I asked my colleague and bingo! This was the company. And so, I applied online, got a call back very fast, completed an application over the phone, sent income documents and then I was asked to go with my wife at their office. After one hour or so, I was given precise instructions to become a home owner with a government loan program. All I remember was… “If you follow my advice, we will make it happen”. And a year later, Joan got us the house of our dreams, negotiated best deal to cover most closing costs and closed our loan with a 4.25% interest rate when my own was offering me 4.875%???? I am so thankful I found this guy I still cannot believe the miracle he worked for us. Again, thank you Joan and your team for being a true servant and valuable tool to make possible what for me I was told bank after bank to stop searching as it was not possible. I will always refer you absolutely everyone desiring to buy a house. You are indeed the miracle man!!!!
