Here are 10 reasons it’s easy and affordable to buy a new home
17
Dec
1. Payments that look like rent.
It’s possible to buy a new home for a monthly payment that is comparable to renting. And when you own your own home, you’re investing for the future, instead of throwing money away on rent.
2. No big down payment needed.
You don’t need a big down payment to buy a new home. Often, 100% financing with no down payment is available, or the down payment required is very small.
3. Financial assistance is available to buy a new home in Houston.
There are also many programs that give qualified home buyers thousands of dollars for down payments and other expenses. Learn more in our Help & Advice section.
4. You don’t need to be a U.S. citizen to buy a home.
There is no requirement to be a U.S. citizen to buy a home or to take out a private mortgage. Citizenship is required to take out a government-backed mortgage, but there are many other easy and affordable options available.
5. Established credit, or perfect credit, are not required.
It helps to have good credit, but home builders and lenders understand that some home buyers may not have established credit histories. That’s why they consider other evidence of your ability to meet financial obligations, such as rent and utility payments.
6. Home builders and lenders welcome the Hispanic community.
Many have Spanish-speaking sales counselors, and Spanish versions of their websites.
7. Realtors are welcome.
If you are working with a real estate agent, he or she will be warmly welcomed by home builders.
8. The benefits of new construction.
From carpet and appliances, to air conditioners and roofing, everything is new, and you get a warranty to protect you.
9. New homes are designed for the way you live.
Today’s floor plans are bright, spacious and open. You can enjoy your best family moments together, and there’s also a back yard to play in.
10. Better schools, better recreation.
New communities are located in some of the very best school districts, and many have parks and trails to help every member of the family stay healthy and happy.
Hvac Company Owner Here About To Get Screwed?

One of my custom builders has built this one house over and over again at least 25 times over the past four years, and on one particular house there has been mold spotted near some of my registers. I have met with the home owner, builder and mold “specialist” and we have all come to a conclusion that the blown in insulation had not filled all the cavities around the buckets in the attic. All great and grand for me all we had to do was take all the old duct, buckets, plenums, coil and heater out and replace it all. They get all the prices together and send them to the insulator and he refuses to pay the back charge because he didn’t see problem before it was fixed. Now my builder has turned on me and I am afraid I am about to get back-charged for crap that I didn’t do. Does this suck or what? I guess that’s why I have to carry liability insurance even though it’s not my fault. Has this kind of junk happened to anybody else out there?
