At NMHL, we understand that not all borrowers fit the traditional mortgage mold. That's why we offer a range of mortgage options for underserved borrowers, including those with bad credit, self-employed individuals, and veterans. Our FHA loans, for example, can be an excellent choice for borrowers with lower credit scores or those who may not have a large down payment. We also offer VA loans for eligible veterans, which can provide more favorable terms and lower interest rates.

NMHL's commitment to serving underserved borrowers means we're dedicated to finding solutions that work for you. Our experienced loan officers will work with you to understand your unique situation and find the best mortgage options available.

NMHL can help you navigate these programs and determine which ones you're eligible for. By combining these programs with NMHL's competitive mortgage rates, you can make your dream of homeownership a reality.

In addition to OHFA programs, there may be local down payment assistance programs available in Canton. NMHL's local expertise can help you explore these options and find the best fit for your situation.
