What Residents Report

TSAHC has helped Texans buy homes since 1994, and most reviewers praise their first-time buyer programs and development partnerships. One borrower flagged that accepting down payment assistance raised their rate from 3.375% to 4.125%, offsetting the grant's value over the loan's life.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
