— ABOUT TEXAS HOME LOANS

Texas’ Mortgage
Lending Specialists

Pacific Home Loans provides mortgage financing throughout Texas, including Austin, the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, the Texas Hill Country, Houston, and San Antonio. We offer conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, portfolio, and Non-QM loan programs structured for Texas’s diverse property landscape and borrower profiles.

Texas has become one of the most dynamic and consequential real estate markets in the United States – driven by a convergence of economic forces that have created sustained demand for luxury, resort, and specialized financing solutions. Texas’s zero state income tax has attracted a historic wave of corporate relocations and high-income individuals from California, New York, and Illinois, anchoring luxury real estate demand across Austin and the Dallas-Fort Worth metro. Austin’s emergence as a world-class tech hub – home to Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Oracle, and a dense startup ecosystem – has created one of the highest concentrations of complex-income tech borrowers in the country. And the Texas Hill Country has developed into one of the most active short-term rental and wine tourism markets in the South, generating consistent DSCR and PrimeResort financing demand from investors across the state and nation. The 2026 conforming loan limit across most Texas counties is $832,750, with many luxury metropolitan transactions requiring jumbo or portfolio financing.

Texas Tax Advantage &
Corporate Relocation Financing

Texas’s zero state income tax is one of the most powerful financial relocation incentives in the country – and has driven a sustained wave of corporate headquarters relocations, high-income individual moves, and investment capital deployments that have fundamentally reshaped Texas real estate over the past decade. For high-income buyers relocating from California, New York, or Illinois, the elimination of state income tax can represent substantial annual savings — creating a compelling financial case for Texas residency that continues to drive luxury buyer demand across Austin and the Dallas metro.

Major corporate relocations anchoring luxury buyer demand include:

  • Austin – Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Oracle, Dell Technologies, and a dense startup and venture ecosystem
  • Collin County – Toyota North America, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Liberty Mutual, and dozens of Fortune 500 headquarters
  • Dallas-Fort Worth broadly – one of the largest concentrations of Fortune 500 headquarters in the United States

Common financing scenarios for high-income Texas relocators include:

  • Jumbo and portfolio loan amounts for luxury primary residences in Austin and the Dallas metro
  • Bank statement and asset-based qualification for self-employed business owners and tech executives
  • Bridge financing for buyers simultaneously selling California, New York, or Illinois property
  • RSU and stock option income documentation for Austin tech sector employees

Texas Hill Country Resort &
Vacation Investment Financing

The Texas Hill Country – anchored by Fredericksburg and extending through Wimberley, Marble Falls, and the Guadalupe River corridor – has become one of the most active short-term rental and wine tourism markets in the southern United States. Fredericksburg alone hosts over 100 wineries and has developed a vacation rental infrastructure that draws investors from Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, and across the country seeking strong cash flow and long-term appreciation in a proven market.

Common financing considerations in the Hill Country resort market include:

  • Non-warrantable resort cabin and vacation property project classifications
  • Strong short-term rental income and DSCR qualification demand
  • Second-home and investment property classifications
  • Unique property types – Hill Country limestone ranch houses, wine estate cottages, and resort cabin clusters
  • Out-of-state investor demand with self-employed and complex income profiles

— REFINANCE

Important: Texas Cash-Out
Refinance Regulations

Texas homestead cash-out refinances are governed by Article XVI, Section 50(a)(6) of the Texas Constitution. These loans are generally limited to 80% loan-to-value, require a mandatory waiting period prior to closing, and are subject to specific fee limitations and eligibility requirements. Additional constitutional provisions apply, including restrictions on loan structure and closing requirements. These rules apply only to Texas homestead (primary residence) properties and do not apply to investment properties.

Borrowers considering a cash-out refinance on a Texas primary residence should discuss the specific requirements and timeline with our team before proceeding.

Investor & Non-QM
Borrowers in Texas

Texas attracts a high concentration of self-employed borrowers, tech professionals, energy sector executives, business owners, and real estate investors whose income structures benefit from flexible Non-QM qualification programs. The state’s investment property markets – particularly in Austin, the Hill Country, and the Dallas metro – also support strong DSCR financing demand.

Available Non-QM programs include:

  • Bank statement loans – qualification based on 12 or 24 months of deposits

  • Asset-based qualification – qualification based on liquid and investable asset reserves

  • DSCR / investor cash flow loans – qualification based on rental property income

  • 1099 loan programs – for independent contractors and business owners

  • Portfolio lending solutions – customized structuring for complex borrower scenarios

Texas constitutional law limits cash-out refinances on homestead properties to 80% loan-to-value, requires a mandatory 12-day waiting period between application and closing, and imposes restrictions on fees and refinance frequency.
