"I was very confused about the VA loan process. Kris and his team explained and clarified everything, and Kris approaches the whole thing with the heart of a teacher. But he also has deep experience in his field and can give you important context on how the funding process works. I was so grateful to have Kris and his team working on our loan. It saved us time, stress, and money. We will definitely be returning to NAF and Kris for our refinance down the road."

"I highly recommend Kris Hogrefe and his excellent team. If you are using the VA home loan, you won't do better than Kris and NAF. He helped to explain and demystify the home loan process and I am so grateful that he was there to help us along."

PATHWAY TO HOMEOWNERSHIP
Are You Ready?
At New American Funding, we believe that every person deserves a clear path to achieving their dream of homeownership. So, we created the Pathway to Homeownership initiative to alleviate some of your financial worries.
What is the Pathway to Homeownership Initiative?
The Pathway to Homeownership offers qualified borrowers in select areas up to $6,000 in assistance. These funds are not a loan that needs to be repaid and are available to first-time homebuyers in designated areas.
This program can also potentially be combined with other down payment assistance programs to offer you even more support as you build the life of your dreams.
