Looking to buy a home, but need some help navigating the market? Now is still a great time to buy, work with an expert real estate agent to help you find your dream home.<\/p>\n \n
Jennifer Wilson<\/a>, a real estate agent in Albuquerque<\/a> who sells homes more than 45% quicker than the average agent in her area, says she works with approximately one buyer each year who uses a Native American-targeted government-sponsored loan program. Specifically, her clients go through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development\u2019s Section 184 loan program.<\/p>\n Wilson is happy to clue her eligible clients in on the Section 184 initiative. One reason she likes it is because the mortgage insurance premium is lower than both conventional and FHA loans. \u201cAnd, of course, it\u2019s a much lower down payment,\u201d she adds. \u201cIt\u2019s 2.25% versus 3% for conventional or 3.5% for FHA.\u201d<\/p>\n If you think you might be able to take advantage of one of these Native American down payment assistance programs, it is also helpful to know how to apply. Here\u2019s a guide to where to start looking and what you need to know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you think you might be qualified for Native American down payment assistance, we\u2019ve got information that can help you access those resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":226,"featured_media":44819,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[192,629,637],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-for-buyers","category-home-financing","category-special-programs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
