In the past, private lenders often had issues legally foreclosing on a home located on Native American land. With the inability to enforce payments on loans, many lenders would not offer mortgages to borrowers purchasing a home on Native American land. As a means to address a lack of mortgage availability and to increase capital in Native American Communities, Congress established the Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee Program in 1992. The Office of Loan Guarantee within HUD’s Office of Native American Programs guarantees home mortgages made under the Section 184 home loan program. By guaranteeing these loans, lenders are protected in the event of buyer default or foreclosure. Max Mortgage, LLC offers great rates and low down payment options on Oklahoma 184 loans to Native Americans throughout Oklahoma.

​Section 184 home loans are available in 37 states to American Indian and Alaska Native families, Alaska villages, tribes, or tribally designated housing entities. In order to apply for a Oklahoma 184 loan, at least one applicant must be enrolled in a Federally Recognized Tribe. If eligible, a borrower can use a Section 184 loan for a number or purposes including:

• Purchasing an Existing Home

• Constructing a New Home

• Refinancing a Home

• Rehabilitating a Home

• Purchase and Rehabilitate a Home

These loans are available only for single family homes that are to be used as the borrower’s primary residence. A Section 184 loan cannot be used for second homes or for investment properties. Oklahoma 184 Loans amounts are limited by county.
