Nebraska Investment Finance Authority (NIFA) Loan Program

CharterWest is one of the top NIFA lenders in Nebraska. We pride ourselves in offering affordable housing programs for our customers.

The first-time homebuyer mortgage loan has a fixed rate that is generally less than non-NIFA mortgage rates.

Qualifying NIFA loans must be insured by one of the following sources:

  • Federal Housing Administration (FHA)
  • Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
  • Rural Development (USDA/RD)
  • Private Mortgage Insurance (for conventional loans)

Funds are not available for refinancing.

NIFA Loan Eligibility Requirements

Applicants must be first-time homebuyers evidenced by signed copies of the last three years of federal income tax returns (with certain exceptions) and must meet established income and purchase price limits.

Three exceptions to the first-time buyer rule include divorce, natural disaster, and job relocation. Purchase price limitations and/or income limits apply to the program and can be found with more details for the program at www.nifa.org, or call us for the details at 888-273-9500.

NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS
All funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.
The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It also includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts ("IOLTAs"). It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts, and money-market deposit accounts.
