We purchase HUD-184 Mortgages

Unlike many other government mortgages, Fannie Mae purchases HUD-184 mortgages to better support Native American populations. These loans can be sold to Fannie Mae using the same processes you would use for any of our conventional products. Learn about HUD-184 loans and delivery here.
