Mortgage Rates for New Mexico's Disabled
A significant portion of New Mexico's allocated funding for housing goes towards assisting the disabled. No matter what the current NM mortgage rates, people with disabilities often have trouble qualifying to own their own property due to limited incomes. With an increase in transitional housing being built, and programs offered to help the disabled, those with disabilities are now able to secure low NM mortgage rates while enjoying a host of other state-sponsored lending programs.
New Mexico's Helping Hand Program, for example, has been designed to help low-income families with disabled family members finance their home purchases. This program offers an interest-free loan for qualifying members. Coupled with low NM mortgage rates from participating lenders, this program can make home ownership possible for those with disabilities.
