We Understand What You're Going Through
Having no credit history affects an estimated 26 million adults in the US, making it difficult to qualify for mortgages using traditional lending criteria. Many lenders rely heavily on credit scores, which can't be calculated for individuals without credit history. This creates a Catch-22 where people can't get credit because they don't have credit. Alternative methods of establishing creditworthiness exist, but many lenders aren't equipped to evaluate them.

Understanding No Credit History Mortgages
Having no credit history is different from having bad credit. While many lenders use the same evaluation criteria for both situations, there are distinct mortgage options for borrowers with no credit history.
At NMHL, we specialize in helping these borrowers qualify using alternative credit methods, including FHA manual underwriting and alternative credit programs.
Alternative credit methods can help you qualify for a mortgage.
