Product Overview

Our loans are designed to help cover down payment and closing costs, and make a home purchase affordable. There are two basic types of loans: amortizing and 0% deferred.

With an amortizing second you make two payments each month, one to your first mortgage lender and one to NeighborWorks Montana. These kinds of loans can help you access the best first mortgage products, and may help avoid costly mortgage insurance. They also can be paid off at any time without a penalty, which means you can gain equity as fast as your budget will allow.

With a 0% deferred loan you have no interest and no payments until you refinance or sell your home. These kinds of loans are designed to help reduce total mortgage payments for lower income home buyers. Loans are income limited, check out the income table here.
