🏡✨ TWO Programs. ONE Brand-New Home. Houston, this is YOUR moment!

What if I told you that you could buy a BRAND-NEW construction home in a gated community — with as little as $350 out of pocket? 🤯

It's happening RIGHT NOW at Fairwoods at Furman (13520 Furman Rd, Houston 77047 — Almeda Genoa/Hwy 288 corridor), and here's the magic: the City of Houston lets you STACK two programs together 👇

💚 Program #1: AHDP — The City partners with the builder so qualified buyers purchase BELOW market value. That's instant equity the day you close — up to ~$44,000 on select homes!

💰 Program #2: HAP (Down Payment Assistance) — Up to $50,000 in NO-interest, FORGIVABLE assistance for down payment, closing costs, and even reducing your loan amount.

🏠 Two beautiful floor plans:

🌲 The Evergreen — 3BD/2.5BA from $289,950

🌅 The Vista — 4BD/2.5BA from $305,900

Quartz counters • stainless appliances • soaking tub • smart thermostat • gated community • Energy Star® certified

📍 Save this if you're a 2026 grad — this is the move nobody's telling you about.

You just got your degree. Maybe you even have an offer letter in hand. And while everyone's telling you to "wait and save up" before buying a home — I'm here to tell you that waiting could cost you more than you think. 🎓➡️🏡

Real estate is one of the few assets that builds wealth while you live in it. Every mortgage payment builds equity. Appreciation works in your favor. And the longer you wait, the more home values and interest rates have the potential to work against you. Starting NOW — even before your first paycheck — is not reckless. It's strategic.

Here's what most graduates don't know: the City of Houston has programs specifically designed to make homeownership possible for first-time buyers, and right now they're active at a brand-new construction community I represent called Fairwoods at Furman (13520 Furman Rd, Houston, TX 77047). Here's what's available:

🏠 HAP Down Payment Assistance — up to $50,000 that can be used for your down payment AND closing costs, AND/OR to reduce your principal so your monthly payment is more affordable. That's not a loan you stress over — that's the City of Houston investing in YOU.

✅ You need: a 30-year fixed mortgage, DTI within program guidelines, and as little as $350 of your own funds to contribute. That's it.

New construction homes at Fairwoods at Furman start in the $280s–$300s with 3 and 4-bedroom floor plans. You could move in with minimal out-of-pocket costs and start building equity from day one.

So if you graduated this spring — or you know someone who did- drop your graduation year below👇🏽 and let's talk about how close you actually are to homeownership. You might be more ready thank you think.

🏡 Houston — this one's for you.

Did you know the City of Houston has TWO programs that can be stacked together to help you buy a BRAND-NEW home at Fairwoods at Furman — with little to nothing out of pocket?

Here's how it works:

✅ Program 1 — AHDP (Affordable Home Development Program)
The City partners with the builder so you purchase a NEW home below market value. At Fairwoods, that means buying a gorgeous new construction home starting at $305,900... on a home that's worth $349,850 on the open market. That's nearly $44,000 in INSTANT EQUITY on Day 1.

✅ Program 2 — HAP/DPA (Homebuyer Assistance Program)
Up to $50,000 in a no-interest, forgivable loan that can bridge the gap between your mortgage pre-approval and the purchase price, cover your down payment, closing costs, prepaids, and even reduce your interest rate.

Two programs. One new home. Possibly ZERO out of pocket.

🏠 About Fairwoods at Furman:
📍 13520 Furman Road · Almeda Genoa / Hwy 288 · Houston, TX 77047
→ New construction 2026
→ 3–4 Bedrooms · 2.5 Baths
