New Income Limits for Home Buyer Programs
|
|
|
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently released its 2017 Median Family Income (MFI) numbers which TSAHC uses to determine income limits for our home buyer programs.
Based on the new MFI numbers, we updated our income limits, and they are available
here. These are effective as of April 26, 2017. Please note that as of April 3, 2017 our income limits are the same for our Home Sweet Texas Home and Homes for Texas Heroes home buyer programs.

Attention REALTORS®: Interested in Being Spotlighted?

Last December, TSAHC introduced a REALTOR® Spotlight section on our web site to recognize REALTORS® who are recommended by home buyers. REATLOR® Spotlights offer great exposure for your business with these perks:
- We create a web page for each REALTOR® Spotlight (click here for an example).
- Each Spotlight is shared via TSAHC's social media.
- The REALTOR® is featured on our Find a REALTOR® web page for one week.
- Each Spotlight is linked on our Previous Spotlights web page.
REALTORS® included in the Spotlight were recommended by a home buyer in TSAHC's home buyer feedback survey. If you would like to be included in the REALTOR® Spotlight, please encourage your home buyers to complete the feedback survey, which they will receive after closing on their home.
