Understanding Your Mortgage Options as a Retiree
As a retiree living on social security income, you might feel like your mortgage options are limited. But the truth is, there are many programs designed to help people in your situation. At NMHL, we specialize in helping retirees navigate the mortgage landscape and find the best fit for their financial circumstances.
One of the most common challenges retirees face is proving their income. Traditional lenders often rely on standard income metrics that don't account for social security benefits or other retirement income. But we understand that your social security income is a stable and reliable source of funds.
We'll work with you to explore mortgage options that consider your social security income and other retirement benefits.

For example, our FHA loan program allows down payments as low as 3.5%, making it easier to get into your dream home. And with our VA loan program, eligible veterans can enjoy zero-down financing and other benefits.
We'll help you explore these options and find the best fit for your situation.
