HUD Section 184 Mortgages – Native American Lending Program

 

The Section 184 Native American home loan program is a wonderful benefit for many.  This program is specifically designed for Native American Indians and Alaska Natives who are members of a federally recognized tribe or an Alaska Village.  This loan can be used for purchase or refinance and is eligible for properties on or off reservation.

This program is available in many U.S. States and is available anywhere in Colorado.  The map below shows which states allow for the HUD 184 program.  Some states only allow for this financing in certain counties and other states have not adopted this financing yet.

Here are some of the program’s highlights:

 

            Purchase or refinance

            No Max Income Limit for Borrower

            Alternative Credit is accepted

            Files are Manually Underwritten

            Low Down Payment

            Low Mortgage Insurance

 

This program has helped so many Native Americans realize their dream of home ownership.  Not all lenders can offer this financing.  Only HUD 184 approved lenders are eligible.

 

We are lucky enough to work with a lender who is approved to issue the HUD 184 mortgage and who knows the program inside and out.

Never even heard about it.  Great program.  I wonder if anybody in Michigan even knows how to do the loan?

Great program to find out about -- not a factor in my market, but I always like to know about what's happening in the rest of the country to help home ownership.

Normally I am against special programs for special groups other than Vets.  But I think we have an obligation to the Native Americans if for no other reason to make good on past treaties.  Being from Oklahoma I am somewhat familiar with the complex relationship between the tribes and the state and fed governments.

Great information. I had a buyer ask about this program last year. They are not yet ready to buy, but fit the criteria. I'm glad to find a lender who knows all about it.

This is so apropos! I just picked up a new client that is going to be using this program and I had really no idea how it worked. I also don't know who the lender is that they are using but I am going to at least have some information and be able to point them in the right direction.

Thank you so much for this post!  I had no idea and haven't been asked.  We have 21 tribes, at least, so I'm sure I'll run into it eventually.  Great post!

Very interesting post, especially for native Hawaiians with minimum 50% blood quantum. I'm going to investigate this opportunity to determine eligibility. Can you imagine living on a residential property with a lease payment of $1.00 annually on the island of Oahu and finance the home construction using a HUD 184A loan? Only in America!
