On May 3 the TDHCA will roll out a new bond program to assist buyers with their down payment when purchasing a home. “Bond 77″ is its largest allotment to date and is purported to be $500 million in funds. This program will be released just in time to fill the void left behind by the home-buyer tax credit expiring April 30. With liberal income limits available to existing home buyers and first-time home buyers alike, this affordable alternative for down payment will surely be a hit. Below I have listed some of the major guidelines. For more information feel free to email me at John.McClellan@SupremeLending.com.

I may call you. But 1st I am going to use the 70/80 percent guideline to find the
place I want to buy.
Thanks for putting the information out there! Good to see Supreme Lending offering new products all the time. Thanks John!
John, we have offices in Texas and Los Angeles and we are buying REO’s in California primarily. Most of our homes are for first time buyers and sell from $200,000-300,000.
Will this program help our company? Thanks, Robert Newman 1-818-906-0608
