It is the policy of Tribal Credit is assist in the development of the local communities by encouraging home ownership by tribal members. In all instances, sound credit analysis will be applied to the extension of any loan.

In addition, borrowers who are purchasing a manufactured home which will be permanently attached to the land are eligible for this program if the manufactured home and land are collateral for the loan. See specific home construction loan guidelines for new home construction loans.

How do I apply?
The Real Estate Loan Officer can begin the analysis with a fully completed loan application. Application must have signature and date with income verification attached. Please follow the basic instructions included with the application carefully. If a Purchase and Sales Agreement has already been completed between buyer and seller, applicant may attach this to the application at the time the application is submitted. If you are purchasing trust property, the buyer and seller must make application to BIA Realty prior to submitting your application to Tribal Credit. Applicant may be required to submit additional information.
Applicants may request a “Pre-approval.” If approved, this allows the borrower to shop for their personal residence at or below their pre-approved amount, which is the amount determined to be affordable to them.
How much money can I apply for?
- The maximum residential real
estate loan is $500,000 for our best borrowers.
- Borrowers can apply for either 90% or 95% financing. The interest rate on the loan will be determined by the loan-to-value ratio.
- The amount of money Tribal Credit can loan depends on the appraised value. For example, if the property appraises for $100,000, Tribal Credit can loan $90,000 under the 90% loan program and $95,000 under the 95% loan program.
Do I have to live in Washington state?
