2 Steps TO COMPLETE the Loan Process
STEP ONE
Our loan staff will explain pre-qualification information, including your potential loan limits, interest rate, loan payment, closing costs and down payment requirements. You will decide on the type of house you want to buy and can qualify to own – either new or pre-existing construction. You may also contact a real estate agent to help you find a house that meets your needs.
If you choose to buy a pre-existing home, the house will need to be inspected and appraised before you can sign a contract with the seller.

STEP TWO
At this point, any outstanding underwriting conditions must be met before you can close on your home. Your documents may need to be updated at this time. Your loan closing takes place at a title company. You will sign all your legal ownership documents and bring in your funds for down payment and closing costs. Once all the paperwork is completed, you will receive the keys to your home and you can move in.
section 184 loan guarantee program
NPH is a certified HUD Section 184 Lender and is knowledgeable about the unique circumstances associated with lending on Native Lands. The Section 184 Loan Program was designed to provide access to mortgage financing to Native American and Alaskan Native tribal members. Section 184 home loans are guaranteed 100% by the Office of Loan Guarantee within HUD’s Office of Native American Programs. This guarantee encourages national and local banks to provide mortgage loans to Native Americans.
Section 184 loans can only be used for single family homes (1-4 units) and for a primary residence. Since 184 strives to increase homeownership to all native communities, the guarantee funds are reserved for primary residences rather than second or investment properties.
There are many advantages to using a Section 184:
- Low Down Payment: 2.25% on loans over $50,000 and only 1.25% on loans under $50,000
- Low Interest Rates: based on market rates, not on applicant’s credit scores
- Manual Underwriting: The program utilizes a hands-on approach to underwriting and approval opposed to automated decision-making tools.
- Growing National Network of Approved Lenders: Network of approved lenders includes national companies and local banks to suit your needs. Lenders have also been trained on the unique circumstances of Native homeownership.
- Section 184 Upfront Loan Guarantee Fee and Annual Mortgage Insurance: A one-time 1.5% up front guarantee fee is paid at closing and can be financed into the loan. In addition, loans with a loan to value of 78% or greater will be subject to an annual .15% mortgage insurance premium.
- Protection from predatory lending: Our program monitors the fees our approved lenders can charge Native borrowers. Section 184 loans cannot be used for adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs).
- Purchase an existing home
- Construct a new home (site-built or manufactured homes on permanent foundations)
- Rehabilitate a home, including weatherization
- Purchase and rehabilitate a home
- Refinance a home (rate and term, streamline, cash out)
