Welcome to 1st Tribal Lending

Why Choose Grant Gaertner at 1st Tribal Lending?

 

1st Tribal Lending is comprised of the most experience HUD Section 184 lending team in the nation. Much of our staff has been in the HUD Section 184 industry for greater than ten years. Our underwriters were among the first in the nation to become approved to directly underwrite this loan product.

 

1st Tribal Lending has successfully closed thousands of HUD Section 184 loans across the nation. Within this amazing volume of lending, loans on the reservation, off the reservation, site built construction, manufactured homes, and purchases on and off the reservation, and refinances for a multitude of purposes have been successfully funded. Some lenders do only one or two of these options. 1st Tribal Lending can do them all!

 

Choice and Flexibility

 

If construction or renovation is your objective; our staff is ready and capable of handling a small renovation to a complete build from scratch. We can handle anything the program allows. Working with Tribes and the Bureau of Indian Affairs Offices is a specialty of ours. While other banks and lenders shy away from ‘on reservation’ lending, Gaertner Lending views it as a great part of our mission. The epicenter of the tribe is the reservation. With this in mind, we wish to help the tribe achieve and exceed its housing goals.

 

Commitment

 

1st Tribal Lending is also committed to the Native American Tribal Members in urbanized areas. We continue to outreach to those Native American Tribal Members who are unaware they have access to this wonderful program. Thousands of tribal members have successfully purchased homes in urban areas using the HUD Section 184 loan.

 

Why Choose Anyone Else?

 

When considering our high level of experience, great customer service, and commitment and enthusiasm for serving the Native American population.

 

We at Gaertner Lending thank you for considering us for the most important task of creating your home.

 

Sincerely,
