Homebuyer U lays foundation for home buying process
The Texas Homeownership Program assisted more than 10,000 homebuyers through its My First Texas Home and My Choice Texas Home loan programs during the first 10 months of 2019. Buying a home is a big decision and comes with some complex financial lingo, but our Texas homebuyers began on a firm foundation by logging on and completing TDHCA’s Homebuyer U.
Homebuyer U’s “Becoming A Homeowner” course walks potential homebuyers through three important phases of the home buying process: one, preparing for homeownership; two, financing a home; and three, purchasing a home. The online tool satisfies the homebuyer education requirement to participate in the My First Texas Home program and must be completed prior to closing on the purchase of a home.
Homebuyer U also offers an introductory course to the Texas Mortgage Credit Certificate (TX MCC) Program, which provides additional savings to Texas first time homebuyers on their federal income taxes.
