Are you a veteran? And are you or your spouse Native American? And, are you looking to become a homeowner? If so, then you could be eligible for the Native American Direct Loan (NADL) program, which can help you get a loan to build or improve a home on Federal Trust Land.

You can also use it to refinance and lower an existing interest rate.

Similar to the VA home loan, it offers some great benefits when purchasing like no down payment required (in most cases), no need for private mortgage insurance, lowered closing costs, chance for a lower interest rate (on a 30-year fixed mortgage) among others.

It’ll fill you in on the other things you need to make sure the NADL is good to go. These include an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding with the government detailing how the program works on Trust lands), a VA home loan Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and link to get in touch with the VA regional loan center to — once qualified — get the process started.
