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 $8,000 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.

NAF Cash Can Turn You into a Cash Buyer

Buying in cash means convenience, certainty, and may mean cost savings too. In fact, buying in cash may help you save up to 11% over those using a traditional mortgage.* With NAF Cash, you can make a competitive, true cash offer that is not contingent on financing and close in little as seven days without having to sell your current home first.

*According to a study from researchers at the University of California - San Diego, cash buyers have paid about 11% less than using a mortgage.

"Chris was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Before I even met with him for the first time, he sent me a personalized welcome video. Always available night and day, week and weekend to answer all my questions in depth. He even went out of his way to offer me reimbursement for an unnecessary home inspection that took place due to scheduling conflicts. Overall a great experience."

"Great experience with Chris who got us through the home buying process in a very professional manner. Chris was a great advisor and helped us through the loan process in a very smooth way. What I found great about him was there was never a time that he would not respond. Be it a weekend or a holiday he always got back to us. Also, he was very patient with us going through a number of offers and helped us with the closing without any hiccups."
