Frequently asked questions

Do homes near Houston bayous require flood insurance?
The flood zone and lender determine the requirement; coverage may still be prudent outside mapped high-risk areas.
How are Houston property taxes reviewed?
Use the Harris Central Appraisal District record and all applicable city, school and special-district rates for the address.
Can a self-employed Houston buyer use bank statements?
Some programs may evaluate eligible deposits, subject to documentation, program guidelines and lender approval.
What applies to a Texas homestead cash-out?
Texas Constitution Section 50(a)(6) imposes special home-equity rules; the property and transaction require lender and title review.
