What We Do (and What We Don’t)
ShopDPA is a Texas home loan referral service. We help homebuyers find the down payment assistance and tax-credit programs they may qualify for through TSAHC, TDHCA, the federal Mortgage Credit Certificate, and the Texas Veterans Land Board, then connect qualified buyers with a licensed mortgage professional in our Texas partner network.
Program details, eligibility rules, and dollar amounts on this site come from the official program administrators, including TSAHC, TDHCA, the IRS, HUD, the VA, and the Texas General Land Office. Always confirm the details with the program administrator before making a home-purchase decision.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to what Texas buyers and partners ask us most before they reach out.
How quickly will I hear back after I reach out?
We respond to every message within one business day, Monday through Friday. If you use the eligibility check, a licensed mortgage professional in our Texas partner network will usually follow up within one to two business days.
Is ShopDPA a lender or a mortgage broker?
No. ShopDPA is a Texas home loan referral service. We are not a mortgage broker, lender, or loan officer, and we do not originate, fund, or service loans. We help you find the down payment assistance and tax-credit programs you may qualify for, then connect you with a licensed mortgage professional in our Texas partner network.
Does it cost anything to contact you or check my eligibility?
There is no cost to reach out or to use the eligibility check on this site, and you are never under any obligation to move forward. We are a referral service, not a lender.
Will checking my eligibility affect my credit score?
No. The eligibility check is a few quick questions about your situation. It does not pull your credit, and we do not ask for your Social Security number to show you which Texas programs may fit.
What information do I need to get started?
Not much. The eligibility check asks where you live, whether you have owned a home before, your timeline, your target price range, and your household income, so we can point you toward the Texas programs you may qualify for. You can always email us first if you would rather just ask a question.
I’m a loan officer. How do I join your partner network?
We’d like to hear from you. Email hello@shopdpa.com with a note about your Texas market and the programs you close, and we will follow up about how our partner network works.
Do you only help first-time buyers?
No. Texas has programs for first-time buyers and for repeat buyers, including TDHCA’s My Choice Texas Home for people who have owned before. Tell us your situation and we will show you what may fit.
Is my information kept private?
We only use the details you share to point you toward programs you may qualify for and to connect you with a licensed mortgage professional if you choose to move forward. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information.
