Key Features


NASB's Credit Event Home Loan helps borrowers with unique circumstances.

Life doesn't always go as planned, and sometimes certain financial events can impact your ability to qualify for a mortgage loan despite having the money to make a down payment. Buying a home may feel out of reach if you've experienced a setback, such as bankruptcy. At NASB, we understand these unique situations and are here to listen and help. Our Credit Event Home Loan focuses on your overall financial story, not just the challenges you've faced. We even allow outside gifts to help cover your down payment and closing costs.

Common credit events we consider include:

  • Bankruptcy (with a minimum of one year from the bankruptcy discharge date)
  • Divorce
  • Medical bills
  • Loss of a loved one

Reach out to us today, and let's explore how we can make homeownership possible for you, even after a credit event.
