I'm Bond Peter Njoku (NMLS #2670329). Southlake is one of DFW's most prestigious communities — Carroll ISD schools, luxury retail, and a median home price well above $600,000. FHA works on Southlake's entry-level inventory (townhomes and smaller single-family homes under $524,225). For the broader Southlake market, I'll match you with conventional or VA financing instead.
Southlake homes span a wide range — from townhomes and smaller SFRs starting near $450,000 to estate homes above $1,000,000. The Tarrant County FHA limit is $524,225, which means FHA applies to the entry-level end. Most Southlake buyers land in conventional territory ($524,225–$900,000+), and eligible veterans can use VA financing with no loan limit and $0 down on any price.
If you're targeting the $450,000–$524,000 range in Southlake, FHA with 3.5% down and TSAHC assistance is a legitimate option. I'll build a side-by-side showing FHA vs. conventional so you see the actual monthly cost difference before deciding.
| FHA (entry-level) | Up to $524,225 · 3.5% down · 580+ FICO |
|---|---|
| Conventional | Up to $2M+ · 5–20% down · 620+ FICO |
| VA (veterans) | No limit · $0 down · no PMI |
| Typical Southlake range | $450,000–$1,000,000+ |
| Tarrant Co. TSAHC limit | ~$97,200 household income |
| Carroll ISD | #1 Tarrant County — major buyer draw |
For Southlake homes priced $450,000–$524,225 — townhomes, smaller SFRs — FHA at 3.5% down is a valid option. TSAHC is available for buyers under ~$97,200 income. Best for 580–679 credit or buyers who want the lowest possible down payment on the entry-level end of the Southlake market.
For Southlake homes above $524,225, conventional is standard. Higher loan limits, lower mortgage insurance with strong credit (720+), and no FHA MIP structure. Typically requires 5–20% down. I'll find the best conventional rate for your price, credit, and down payment. Call 469-545-7180.
Since January 2020, VA loans have no loan limit for eligible veterans with full entitlement. A Southlake home at $750,000 or $900,000 is fully financeable with $0 down and no monthly mortgage insurance. If you're a veteran, this is almost always the most powerful Southlake loan option.
