How do I get a loan from NDHFA?
To have NDHFA finance a mortgage loan, potential borrowers should apply through a lender that originates mortgage loans on the agency’s behalf. The lender handles the loan application and all the work it takes to originate and close a mortgage loan. The lender then sells the mortgage loan to NDHFA.

What kind of credit score do I need to have?
Every situation is different. If you have questions about your credit score and your ability to get a loan, contact one of NDHFA’s participating lenders.
What happens to my loan once it is sold to NDHFA?
You will make your monthly mortgage payments directly to the local lender or NDHFA.
