The Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee Program is a powerful tool to make homeownership easier for Native Americans.
Because of this program, members of federally-recognized Tribes can purchase a home with very little down payment and no credit score minimum.
But perhaps even more important is the loan’s ability to lend on Tribal trust land, which is not possible with most loan programs.
Here’s your guide to learn more about these fantastic loans.

Who is eligible for Section 184?
This special loan program is not available to just anyone. Because Native Americans have been traditionally underserved when it comes to housing, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) ensures that only registered Tribal members are eligible.
Here are basic Section 184 Loan eligibility requirements. You must be:
- An enrolled member of a federally-recognized Indian Tribe that has been approved for Section 184 loans, or;
- A member of an Alaska Native village
- A Tribally-designated housing entity
- An Indian Housing Authority
In addition, you must:
- Be financing a primary residence (no second homes or rental properties)
- Have adequate income and employment
- Show creditworthiness; no minimum credit score is required, but collections, judgments, and other derogatory credit may not be acceptable
- Be a first-time or repeat buyer or refinancing homeowner
- Have adequate funds or assistance to make a down payment of 2.25% for a loan over $50,000 and 1.25% down on a loan under $50,000
This is just a brief overview, so here’s a deeper look at each requirement.
Tribal membership is required
Perhaps the biggest requirement of all is that you are a member of a federally-registered Tribe.
Lenders will require proof of membership. You’ll need a clear copy of your enrollment identification card. CDIB cards may be accepted in some cases, if it includes an enrollment number. Blood quantum letters are not accepted.
Only one applicant on the loan needs to be a member.
A lender can’t help you enroll; you must go to your Tribe directly to learn about their requirements for membership. If you are not an official member yet, it’s a good idea to approach your Tribe right away to start the process.
Keep in mind, though, that the Tribe must be approved with HUD to participate in the program. See the bottom of this page for a list of approved Tribes.
What if my Tribe is not approved for Section 184 loans?
Your Tribe can apply for Section 184 approval with HUD. The Tribe must:
- Create a foreclosure and eviction process
- Create a system to enforce these processes
- Permit HUD and private lenders to access Tribal lands
- Certify that lack of enforcement of processes will result in HUD revoking Section 184 approval for the Tribe
- And complete other requirements
For a complete overview of how a Tribe can participate, see HUD’s website.
Types of homes and loan purposes
The Section 184 loan is one of the most flexible lending types available today. It allows you to complete just about any kind of financing for your primary residence.
Types of homes
- Single-family residence (1-unit standard homes)
- Duplex, Triplex, or Four-plex
- Manufactured homes on a permanent foundation
How you can use the loan
- Finance a home on or off the reservation
- Buy a newly constructed home
- Buy an existing home from someone else
- Purchase land and place a manufactured home on it with one loan
- Purchase land and build a home with the same loan
- Renovate your current home
- Refinance or get cash out of your current home
Credit score requirements
One of the biggest benefits of Section 184 is that it has no minimum credit score. So a lender likely won’t deny your application based on score alone.
That being said, you must prove creditworthiness. The lender needs to make a case that you will faithfully make your payments. That’s simply because all mortgages allow the lender to foreclose if payments aren’t made. It’s the last resort for lenders and they don’t want to do it. And it’s bad for the homeowner, too. However, it’s just the reality of owning a home and getting a mortgage.
So, low scores that were the result of a one-time event like a job loss or medical issue may be approved. But credit profiles that show ongoing late payments and disregard for debt obligations will likely be denied. Other things a lender doesn’t want to see are:
- Open collection accounts
- Tax liens
- Judgments
- Payments made more than 30 days late
- Default on a federal debt (can’t be approved – no exceptions)
Alternative credit is okay if you don’t have enough credit history to generate a traditional score or report. The lender may be able to use items like rent history, utility payments, car insurance, and other recurring bills to prove creditworthiness.
Even if you think you don’t have adequate credit to qualify, you should apply with a lender anyway. Many lenders can offer helpful plans to restore your credit and get you on the path to homeownership.
Down payment requirements
The down payment for a Section 184 loan is very affordable.
- 2.25% on loans over $50k,
- 1.25% on loans under $50k
Compare Section 184 with FHA, which requires 3.5% down payment.
Loan Amount | Section 184 Down Payment | FHA Down Payment |
$40,000 | $500 | $1,400 |
$75,000 | $1,688 | $2,625 |
$100,000 | $2,250 | $3,500 |
$200,000 | $4,500 | $7,000 |
$300,000 | $6,750 | $10,500 |
$400,000 | $9,000 | $14,000 |
Keep in mind that you’ll also be responsible for Section 184 Loan closing costs, which are typically around 2-5% of the loan amount. Closing costs cover things like the lender’s fees, appraisal, escrow, flood zone search, credit report, and more.
The good news is, though, that you can cover the entire down payment and closing costs from a variety of sources.
- Personal savings
- A gift from family
- Tribal assistance
- Non-tribal down payment assistance program
- Other eligible sources
A user of the popular site Reddit, in a Section 184 loan reviews forum, stated that their Tribe helped them with the down payment if they purchased on reservation land.
The seller, lender, or real estate agent can’t pay your down payment, but they can help pay for closing costs.
With some searching and a little creativity, you could buy a home with little or no money out of your own pocket.
Income and employment
You’ll need steady employment history to qualify for any mortgage, including Section 184. That means you’ve been employed in the same line of work for the previous two years.
It’s okay if you’ve changed jobs for a better position or higher pay. But changing jobs for no apparent benefit could indicate you have a hard time holding a job.
If you’re self-employed, you’ll need two years of filed tax returns showing your income.
Debt-to-income ratio
The lender will look at how your income compares with total monthly debt payments.
This means adding up your future mortgage payment, property taxes (if any), and homeowner’s insurance. Then they will add other debt obligations like monthly payments for credit cards, auto loans, and any other debt. Utilities and other non-debt payments are not included.
The lender will verify that all payments are no more than 41% of your pre-tax income. This is called your debt-to-income or DTI ratio. You can have a maximum 43% DTI with two compensating factors such as no increase in your housing payment, good credit, additional income not used to qualify, a large down payment, or savings after closing.
Example DTI
Monthly Income | House payment plus all debt payments for 41% DTI | House payment plus all debt payments for 43% DTI |
$2,000 | $820 | $860 |
$3,000 | $1,230 | $1,290 |
$4,000 | $1,640 | $1,720 |
$6,000 | $2,460 | $2,580 |
$8,000 | $3,280 | $3,440 |
The less you pay for other debts like auto loans, the more house you’ll be able to qualify for while staying under the 41% or 43% maximum DTI.
Mortgage insurance (MI)
Section 184 loans require upfront mortgage insurance (MI). Monthly mortgage insurance was removed on July 1, 2023.
- Upfront: 1.0% of the loan amount (can be rolled into the loan)
- Monthly: 0% (removed July 1, 2023)
Example upfront mortgage insurance amounts
Loan Amount | Upfront Mortgage Insurance |
$50,000 | $750 |
$100,000 | $1,500 |
$150,000 | $2,250 |
$200,000 | $3,000 |
$300,000 | $4,500 |
$400,000 | $6,000 |
Section 184 loan limits
How much home can you buy with a Section 184? This loan comes with limits, but they are not very restrictive.
Most areas offer a loan limit of $420,680 for a 1-unit home in 2023.
But this amount increases in many high-cost areas of the country, all the way up to $970,800.
Limits also increase for 2-, 3-, and 4-unit homes. In fact, you can get a loan of over $1.8 million on a 4-unit home in some areas of California.
Here are standard limits for standard areas and the highest-cost areas. Most areas will use the base limits, and others will be between the base and high-cost limits. A few areas will be at the max high-cost limit. Check your county’s local loan limits here.
Units | Base Limit | Max High-Cost Limit |
1 | $420,680 | $970,800 |
2 | $538,650 | $1,243,050 |
3 | $651,050 | $1,502,475 |
4 | $809,150 | $1,867,275 |
Mortgage rates
Section 184 loan rates are comparable to FHA, VA, and USDA rates. Rates change daily with the broader mortgage market. Plus, personal factors like credit score can affect your rate. Contact an approved Section 184 lender to get a personalized rate quote.
Eligible Areas for Section 184
Eligible Tribe members may purchase a regular home outside of reservation lands, even if it is not in the same state as the Tribe. But, the home still has to be in an approved state or county.
While the Section 184 loan is widely available, it’s not available everywhere.

What if the home is on trust lands (leased land)?
Are you buying a house on or off of a reservation? It makes a big difference in the process. If you plan to buy outside of Tribal trust land, you can skip this section.
With Section 184 loans, you have the option to buy off-reservation. But many would like to buy on-reservation, meaning it would be leased land.
Before you get a loan on-reservation, you need a lease from the Tribe for that parcel.
Additionally, the Tribe needs HUD approval to use the loan on their lands. A list of approved Tribes can be found here.
Assuming it has this approval, the Tribe assigns a lease to you so that you can get the loan.
Each Tribe has its own process to issue leases. It’s important to talk to your Tribe about their requirements. Until the lease is in your hand, the lender can’t move forward with the loan process. So it’s a good idea to begin the process right away.
How do mortgages on trust land work?
As mentioned, lending on Tribal land has historically been difficult for lenders.
Section 184 loans provided a way for private lenders to lend on trust land. Without the program, lenders wouldn’t lend on the reservation because they could not foreclose on the property if they had to. But because HUD will pay back the lender 100% of the loan amount in the case of default, lenders are now willing to make loans on Tribal land.
If the land is held in a trust for a Tribe, it can’t be included in the mortgage. Instead, the lease itself is what is mortgaged.
The buyer creates a leasehold estate with the help of BIA and HUD. Then, the lender can open a mortgage securing the leasehold. The lease must last the length of the mortgage plus an additional 10 years. The lease can be foreclosed on and resold in the case of loan default, though the land itself stays in the Tribal trust.
Land in an individual trust (rather than a trust held by the Tribe) does not need the extra step of setting up a leasehold. Yet, it still must receive approval from the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
In the case of an unpaid loan, the lender must offer to transfer the loan back to the Tribe or Tribe member. If that’s not possible and the home is foreclosed on, the lender must sell the lease or land, plus the home, back to a member of the Tribe, the Tribe itself, or the Indian Housing Authority.
In this way, the Tribe is protected against losing land to someone outside the Tribe.
There are two ways Tribal land can be held:
Allotment: The Tribe doesn’t own the land and the owner has control over the property, subject to BIA approval.
Assignment: The Tribe has control over the land. The Tribe can assign a lease to an individual member. If the lease is at least 10 years longer than the mortgage, the member can get a Section 184 Loan for the property.
How to apply with BIA for a mortgage on leased land
The BIA requires you to get approval for a mortgage on trust land, whether you own it or someone else does.
Leasehold mortgage approval
To get approval to buy land owned by the Tribe or another Indian Landowner, submit the following items by mail.
- BIA lease number or copy of approved lease
- Deed of trust (produced by the lender)
- Mortgage note (produced by the lender)
- Landowner consent to lease. The lease must last at least 10 years longer than the mortgage term (for instance, a 40-year lease for a 30-year mortgage. Most leases are 50 years.)
- Survey map and legal description and/or lot number
See full requirements at BIA.gov.
Trust land mortgage approval
You’ll also need BIA approval to get a mortgage on Tribal land owned by you. Send by mail:
- Commitment letter detailing loan terms
- Loan purpose (new purchase, construction, refinance)
- Form 1003 loan application (the lender can print a copy after applying)
- Legal description or survey
- BIA disclosure statement explaining the process if the trust or land will be transferred if foreclosed
- Deed of trust (produced by the lender)
- Mortgage note (produced by the lender)
- Proof of employment
Other items may be required as applicable
- If a refinance, proof the previous mortgage has been paid off and closed
- Authorization to share information with the BIA
- Proof of right-of-way to cross non-owned land for parcels with no direct access from a public street or driveway
- Statement that you are not delinquent on a federal debt
- Certified Title Status Report (TSR)
See mailing address and more details at BIA.gov.
This sounds like a complex list of items, and it is. However, your lender will assist (or completely take care of) gathering the necessary information and getting BIA approval for you. The above is just so you know what to expect your lender to ask for.
What is a Title Status Report (TSR)?
The lender will require a Title Status Report, or TSR, for parcels within trust land. This report shows ownership history. It is created by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The TSR shows that the seller has the right to sell the home or land to you. If you’re refinancing, it shows that you have the right to get a new loan on the home.
A TSR may take some time for the BIA to put together, from a few weeks to a few months. Prepare by starting your application earlier than you think you need to.
You can request a TSR at your local BIA office. A list of regional offices can be found here. From the Regional Office page, you can find and select your local office.
Section 184 vs FHA
What are advantages of the Section 184 Loan vs FHA? For some, FHA may be the better choice. A checkmark means it may be the better program for each feature.
Loan Feature | Section 184 | FHA |
Down payment | 1.25-2.25% ✔ | 3.5% |
Upfront mortgage insurance | 1.0% ✔ | 1.75% |
Monthly mortgage insurance | None ✔ | 0.55% annually |
Can be used on-reservation | Yes ✔ | No |
Credit score | No minimum ✔ | 580 for 3.5% down |
Available in all states | No | Yes ✔ |
Tribe membership required | Yes | No ✔ |
Availability | About 140 lenders | Thousands of lenders ✔ |
Tribe approval from HUD required | Yes | No ✔ |
If you’re just getting a regular loan outside the reservation, and you qualify, FHA could be faster and easier. But, if you need any of the special features offered by Section 184, that’s your better option.
Section 184 construction or rehab
You can use a Section 184 loan to construct or rehabilitate a home on your land or leased land. Check with your lender to make sure they offer the construction option.
This loan lets you:
- Build a new home
- Buy and place a manufactured home on land
- Buy and rehab a home with one loan
- Rehab or make improvements to your current home
- Add accessibility features to your home
Building a home with this loan could be a good option. It allows you to buy the land and pay for construction costs with a single loan. You can build a home that perfectly suits your needs instead of finding an existing home. You must be ready to build when you buy the land.
You can also use a single loan to buy and fix up a property. There are often great values when shopping for fixer-uppers. With this loan, you can finance repair costs. The loan is based on the future estimated value after repairs are complete.
No matter which type of construction loan you choose, you’ll have to find an experienced and reputable builder. Ask your lender for referrals. Also, ask the builder for references from past customers. You want a builder that will complete the project on time and on budget, since delays will end up costing you more and add to your loan amount.
Optional homeownership counseling
While homeownership counseling is not required for the program, lenders strongly advise it.
These resources can help you plan for life as a homeowner. They prepare you to budget, save for unexpected expenses, and more.
Check for HUD-approved housing counseling agencies here.
Section 184 FAQs
No, there is no income limit for the program. You can make a large income and still be eligible.
For most areas of the country, you can get a Section 184 Loan up to $420,680 for a 1-unit home. But limits are higher for high-cost areas and for 2-4 unit homes. However, your income level and financial situation could mean you will be approved for a lower loan amount.
No. You must use the funds to both buy the land and build the home. The home must be ready to be built for the loan to be approved.
Closing can take longer than for an FHA or conventional loan, especially if the home is on leased land. You must secure a lease for the property, which involves working with the Tribe. Getting approval from the Tribe can take a few weeks to a few months. Once the Tribe issues permission to lend on trust land, it can take 30-45 days to process the rest of the loan.
Section 184 down payment can come from Tribal assistance, a family gift, a down payment assistance program, or personal savings.
You can only receive a Section 184 loan if you are an enrolled member of a federally-recognized Tribe that is also approved for Section 184 loans. Your Tribe can apply with HUD by forming housing processes and procedures and meeting other HUD requirements.
The Section 184 Loan can be used as a first-time homebuyer program. It requires just a 2.25% down payment which can be paid for with down payment assistance. Those who have owned a home before can also use it.
