Down Payment Assistance in Arlington, TX

I'm Bond Peter Njoku (NMLS #2670329). Arlington has a strong veteran community — and VA loans already give eligible buyers $0 down with no PMI. For non-veterans, TSAHC's grant covers the FHA down payment on most Arlington homes, often getting buyers to closing with minimal cash out of pocket.

Veterans & Non-Veterans

Two paths to $0 down in Arlington

Arlington's mix of veterans, military families, and civilian first-time buyers means I'm constantly matching the right program to the right buyer. Veterans get VA's $0 down with no monthly PMI — the best deal in mortgage. Non-veterans get TSAHC stacked on FHA for comparable out-of-pocket results.

  • VA: $0 down, no PMI, competitive rate
  • TSAHC + FHA: covers 3.5% down on most Arlington homes
  • TSAHC has no first-time buyer requirement
  • Stack TDHCA on top for additional closing cost coverage

Stacking Example — Arlington TX, $285K Home

Purchase price$285,000
FHA down payment (3.5%)$9,975
TSAHC grant (3.5% of loan)$9,626
TDHCA (up to 5% deferred)$13,750
Down from buyer$0
Or: VA loan$0 down, no PMI
