Why Community Heroes Choose Mojave River Mortgage Over Big Banks

Home Loans for Heroes at Mojave River Mortgage

Community heroes serve our neighborhoods every day — protecting lives, educating children, and caring for others. At Mojave River Mortgage, we believe heroes deserve access to better mortgage options, real savings, and expert guidance when buying or refinancing a home.

Our Homes for Heroes approach brings together:

• Federal housing programs

• Affordable conventional financing

• Down-payment assistance opportunities

• Exclusive Mojave River Mortgage hero perks

All delivered through a faster, easier, and more transparent process than traditional banks.

Who We Serve: Community & Hometown Heroes

While eligibility varies by program, we proudly work with many types of community heroes, including:

• Teachers and school staff

• Firefighters (career and volunteer)

• Police officers, sheriffs, and law enforcement

• EMTs and paramedics

• Nurses, doctors, and healthcare professionals

• 911 dispatchers and emergency communications staff

• Active-duty military and veterans

• Other public service and community support professionals

Each hero’s situation is different — and that’s where expert guidance matters.

Federal Hero Program: HUD’s Good Neighbor Next Door

The Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) program is one of the only true federal hero-specific housing programs.

GNND Highlights:

• 50% discount on select HUD-owned homes

• Eligible professions:

  • Law enforcement officers

  • Firefighters

  • EMTs and paramedics

  • K-12 teachers

• Homes must be:

  • HUD-owned

  • Located in designated revitalization areas

• 36-month owner-occupancy requirement

GNND opportunities are limited and inventory varies, but when available, they can provide exceptional value for qualifying heroes.

Conventional Home Loans for Heroes (Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac)

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not offer occupation-based hero loans, but their programs are frequently paired with hero-friendly assistance and affordability incentives.

Common Hero-Friendly Options:

• Fannie Mae HomeReady®

• Freddie Mac Home Possible®

• 97% conventional loans with just 3% down

• Compatibility with:

  • State and local down-payment assistance

  • Employer housing assistance

  • Lender credits

Some very low-income borrowers may also qualify for agency affordability credits based on income eligibility — not occupation.

Mojave River Mortgage Homes for Heroes Perks

Beyond loan programs, Mojave River Mortgage provides real savings for eligible heroes.

💙 Exclusive Hero Benefits:

• Free credit reports for eligible heroes

• Free appraisals (reimbursed at loan closing) for eligible heroes

• Combined potential savings of up to $1,000
