step 1

step 2
See your options, clearly
We lay out rates, terms, and payments with the trade-offs (points and fees). You choose what fits your life—and we’ll guide you along the way.
Compare My Options

step 3
Lock in your rate
Upload your docs securely and e-sign—we’ll tell you exactly what’s needed and why, nothing hidden. Then our underwriting team jumps in the same day to verify income, assets, and property details while keeping you updated (no radio silence).
Start The Process
step 4
You're on your way to close!
We’ll walk you through your Closing Disclosure and final numbers—line by line if you’d like—so there are no surprises. Then it’s time to close: sign in-person or e-close (where available), get your keys (or savings), and move forward knowing we’re still here if you need us.

What our
clients say
Scott Spitolnick, Florida
We worked with Gale Austin, who is definitely knowledgable and patient. He never hesitated to answer any questions we had and his communication with us was phenomenal. He really made a somewhat daunting process very simple and seamless. Definitely a 5 star experience with him and the New Era Lending team.
Jamie Leija Walthour
Juan and Valerie kept me advised several times a week throughout the complete refinancing process with texts and phone calls above and beyond anyone i have ever dealt with in the past and would highly recommend them to everyone. Thank you again Juan and Valerie for your professionalism, expertise, and experience!
what you need to know about home loans in texas
Texas has some of the most unique mortgage rules in the country — Here's what every Texas homebuyer and homeowner needs to know before applying.
What makes Texas home loans different:
- Unique Home Equity Rules Texas law caps cash-out borrowing at 80% of your home's value (Section 50(a)(6)) — we'll help you maximize every dollar you can access.
- High Property Taxes, No State Income Tax Texas property taxes average 1.6–2.5% annually — we factor this into your pre-approval so closing day has zero surprises.
- Down Payment Assistance Available TSAHC and My First Texas Home programs offer eligible buyers up to 5% down payment assistance. Ask us if you qualify.
- We Close in 15 Days on Average In fast-moving Texas markets like DFW, Austin, and Houston — speed wins.
Learn before you borrow
We get it. Mortgages cause migraines. That’s why we’ve created a library of resources to help guide you home (pun intended).
About us
Faqs
What are current mortgage rates in Texas?
Your personal rate depends on your credit score, loan type, down payment, and financial profile — and can vary from lender to lender. Contact New Era Lending today for a free, no-obligation mortgage rate quote.
How much do I need for a down payment on a Texas home?
Less than most people think. Conventional loans in Texas start as low as 3% down, FHA loans require just 3.5%, and VA loans may require zero down payment at all.
How long does it take to close on a home in Texas?
A typical mortgage in Texas closes in 30–45 days. With a strong pre-approval from New Era Lending, the process moves faster and your offer stands out in competitive markets.
Can I use a VA loan to buy a home in Texas?
Absolutely — and if you're eligible, a VA loan is one of the best mortgage options available anywhere in the country.
