WISH Grants First-Time Homebuyers | Greater Nevada Mortgage

Greater Nevada Mortgage is proud to offer first-time homebuyers access to federal down payment assistance funding like the Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership (WISH) grant program.

Affordable Entry Into Homeownership

Greater Nevada Mortgage’s 5/5 ARM makes homeownership more affordable for first-time homebuyers and those restarting the mortgage process. With a low fixed interest rate for the first five years, borrowers can enjoy predictable monthly payments and peace of mind. After five years, the interest rate adjusts to market conditions and continues to do so only every five years after that. Get started now with as little as 10% down and a FICO score as low as 640.
