3 Choose Your Loan Term

You're in Charge: A Smarter Way to Borrow

Flexible Payments That Fit Your Life

You only need to make the agreed minimum payment each month. That gives you a steady plan you can count on. But when you have extra income—like a bonus, tips, or freelance gigs—you can pay more. Every extra dollar goes to your principal, helping you finish sooner and pay less interest overall. You're always in control.

Fair Features That Put You First

$0 to Get Started
No big down payment needed. This helps if you're saving money, just starting out, or managing unexpected costs.

No Penalty for Paying Early
Pay off your loan faster, whenever you're ready. There's no fee for paying ahead, and doing so can shrink the total amount of interest you owe.

Low Impact on Your Credit
Most of the time, your payments won't show up on your credit report. That means missing a payment might not lower your score. But on-time payments usually won't help build credit either. Some lenders may use other ways to understand your financial habits, like your job history or bank activity. Be sure to ask.

Who This Supports

  • People with changing income, like gig workers or freelancers
  • Students and young adults learning to manage money
  • Families who want flexible, low-stress financing

This type of loan removes the usual blockers—like strict credit checks or big up-front costs. It's built to work with your life, not against it. You get room to breathe, space to plan, and the chance to succeed on your terms.

The Bigger Picture: A New Way to Borrow

Lending is changing. More companies are using real-life data—like rent, subscriptions, or savings habits—instead of just credit scores. That means more people can get fair access to money, even if they're just starting out or don't have a long credit history. It's not just a loan—it's a shift toward financial fairness.

Heads Up: Every loan is different. Rules, fees, and reporting can change based on the lender and where you live. Always read the full agreement and ask questions if you're unsure. A trusted adult or financial advisor can help explain the details.

4 Select Your First Payment Date
⚠️ Your first payment must be at least 30 days from today. Payment dates are only available on the 1st and 15th of each month.

Texas Property Tax Penalty and Interest Chart

June 6, 2022

If you do not pay your property taxes by their due date (typically January 31), penalties and interest will accrue:

In Texas, you are considered delinquent if your property tax bill remains unpaid by February 1st of the tax year. Once delinquent, you are subject to a 7% penalty and from there interest and penalties continue with one of the largest penalties coming in July for most counties. Every month that you're still past due, your rate will increase by another 2%. The longer you allow delinquent property taxes to go unpaid, the more penalties and interest are added to your bill, that's why it's important to pay your tax bills as soon as you can to avoid these costly fees.

Can you foreclose on my property if I miss my payment? +
We'll work with you on an affordable plan and do everything we can to avoid foreclosure. If payments stop and we can't reach you, Texas law allows foreclosure on a transferred tax lien after required timelines and notices.

Speed matters, especially if a judgment or sale date is set. Call us immediately so we can confirm payoff, title, and a closing window before deadlines pass.

Resource: Texas Tax Code – Chapter 33: Delinquent Tax Collection

Will a property tax loan affect my mortgage escrow with my current lender? +
It can. After we pay your taxes, your servicer's escrow analysis may adjust your monthly mortgage payment next cycle. We notify the taxing unit and, when needed, your servicer, so records reflect the account is current. Keep an eye on your next escrow statement and let us know if you need any payment proof or confirmations for their review.

Resource: CFPB: What is an escrow account?

Do you lend on land, lots, or non-homestead property? +
Yes. We finance delinquent taxes on many property types—including land, lots, rentals, commercial, and other non-homestead real estate—subject to title review and our underwriting. Terms and disclosures may differ from homesteads, but the goal is the same: stop penalties and bring the account current with an affordable, fixed-payment plan.

Resource: Texas Tax Code §32.06 – Transfer of Tax Lien

I'm over 65 or disabled—should I get a tax loan or request a deferral? +
Texas law may allow a tax deferral for homeowners who are 65+ or disabled. A deferral pauses collection and foreclosure while interest accrues at a limited rate. Some seniors still choose a loan to prevent rising balances or protect equity. We'll review both paths with you so you can choose the option that best fits your goals and timeline.

Resource: Texas Tax Code §33.06 – Deferral of Collection

Can heirs or an estate get a property tax loan on an ESTATE OF property? +
Often, yes—if all required heirs agree and title can be properly documented. Our attorneys can help clarify heirship, affidavits, or probate steps needed to proceed. The aim is to secure the property, stop penalties, and set a manageable payment plan while ownership is formalized. Contact us to review your specific heirship situation.

Resource: Texas Estates Code – Chapter 203: Proof of Heirship

How fast can you help stop a tax sale that's already scheduled? +
Very quickly if title is clear and the payoff can be confirmed before the sale deadline. We prioritize imminent tax sales and coordinate documents, notary, and funding to bring the account current. If a judgment and sale are already set, call us immediately—every day matters to halt the sale and convert it into a regulated loan.
