I’m originally from Houston and hoping to bring Landed to Texas in the near future :) In the meantime, a few programs to consider include FHA (a low down payment program), and we have curated a list of nationwide programs that may be helpful here: https://www.landed.com/homebuyer-education-resources. This fishbowl is inspiring me to look into more local Texas resources and I’ll report back!
