I'm Bond Peter Njoku (NMLS #2670329). Forney is one of the most affordable entry points in the DFW east corridor — homes priced $240,000–$320,000 with growing new construction communities. FHA is the dominant loan type here, and TSAHC assistance can bring your out-of-pocket cost close to zero.

Why FHA in Forney?

Forney's price range was built for FHA buyers

Forney homes run $240,000–$320,000 — comfortably within the FHA loan limit for Kaufman County. At 3.5% down on a $275,000 home, you need just $9,625. TSAHC's grant of 3–5% on the loan amount typically covers that entirely. For first-time buyers or buyers with 580–660 credit, FHA plus TSAHC is the most common and effective path in Forney.

Forney also has active new construction from builders like LGI, D.R. Horton, and Landon Homes — most of whom accept FHA financing and are familiar with the appraisal requirements. I coordinate directly with builders to keep the process on track.

New Construction Notes

Forney's major builders accept FHA in most communities. Some offer closing cost credits when you use their preferred lender — I'll compare that against FHA with TSAHC so you know which deal actually saves you more money over the first 5 years. Don't accept a builder incentive before talking to me first.
