Native American Housing Loans | Snoop Zone - Lee County, Florida Real Estate Information for Buyers and Sellers

The Native American Conventional Lending Initiative (NACLI) supports lending on fee-simple, federally restricted trust lands, and tribally restricted fee simple lands. We work with conventional (or non-government-backed loans) as well as government-backed loan products of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Rural Housing Service (RHS) to better serve the housing needs of Native Americans. Fannie Mae also works with PMI Mortgage Insurance Company to offer a NACLI 1 percent down payment mortgage on fee-simple and federally restricted trust lands.
