The Nurses are Heroes 
Home Loan Program
We Help Nurses Save on Their Home! 


The Nurses are Heroes Home Loan Program is an individually designed mortgage and home buying strategy to provide Nurses and many other heroes in the medical professions with better mortgage options that are not or can not be offered by other lenders. The goal of The Missouri Nurses Home Loan Program is to provide money saving options at closing and throughout the life of your home loan.

I started the Nurses Home Loan Program when I realized there was a need for a subject matter expert in mortgage lending that had the experience and knowledge of working with and helping Nurses secure a beneficial mortgage for their home. As you may know of will learn just the way Nurses are paid can be a problem for many mortgage lenders and loan officers. I started this program before COVID because I  have personally and professional witnessed a need to help Nurses and all the other Heroes.

Why did I start the Nurses Home Loan Program? I have been married to a RN since 1983, my two sisters are Nurses, many of our lifelong friends are Nurses, and I have many cousins, friends, and many clients who are all Nurses. I have closed 100s of mortgages for Nurses, I understand what it takes to get through many of the roadblocks that mortgage lenders, underwriting guidelines, and loan officers can place in front of you.

Mortgage guidelines are written for those inside the box borrowers, all W2 income, work an 8 to 5 job, and make the same amount each month....this is not the reality of a Nurse. Shift differentials, Travel Nurses, W2 and 1009 income, New Nurse Graduates, overtime from the start, and so much more that makes you all special. The Nurses as Heroes Home Loan Program is an individually designed mortgage and home buying plan to provide all nurses, medical professional, and those involved in the related fields with more and better options that are not or can not be offered by other lenders. The goal of program is to provide money saving options at closing and throughout the life of your home loan.

Most nurse/medical mortgage programs provide a one size fits all offer/benefit as though you and your home buying situation are not unique. The Nurses as Heroes program is intentionally designed to work with you and how to provide the best mortgage solutions to you and your situation. It could be Down Payment Assistance, helping to improve your credits scores, below market interest rates, helping to purchase a new home with no money out of pocket, or simply having the experience and knowledge to pull a unique situation through the mortgage process to get you a new home.

The Nurses as Heroes Home Loan Program is an individually designed home buying program intended to optimize your savings and provide a mortgage built specifically for you. 
The Nurse Home Loan Program is intended to bring Nurses extra benefits to help save you money from the start of your mortgage to the very end. Plus, a mortgage loan officer that knows what 
makes you SPECIAL! 

Down Payment Assistances for Nurses

There are 33 states that provide down payment assistance programs to first time home buyers and/or move up home buyers. I work especially close with 5 states down payment assistance programs, Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, and Iowa. Of the other 28 states the lender I work with is qualified in each state, I can help you in those states with the assistance of a local loan officer who knows and understands your states DPA program. Down Payment Help for Nurses and others in the medical fields can help to provide more affordability through providing funds for down payment and/or closing costs. Lower interest rates, low down payment mortgage programs, and in many instances lower mortgage insurance rates. I also have an in-house down payment assistance program that is available in every state that we can lend in!

Are you waiting to purchase a new home because you are trying to save money for a down payment? Look into how down payment assistance can work for you. Use down payment assistance programs and a combination of seller grants and concessions to help you purchase a new home with little no money out of pocket.  Most down payment assistance programs will provide funds to cover a minimum down payment or get you extremely close. If you already have your down payment saved, keep it and have it available when you close on your new home. But, if you have your down payment in many states they provide a very low subsidized interest rate that will help lower your house payment or provide better affordability to open more homes in the market for you.

Down Payment Assistance for Nurses

The CASH Program for Nurses

The housing inventory of available homes has become very thin of late creating a situation where homes move fast and the seller is in control. In today's market over 1 in 4 homes are sold for cash! Sellers are rejecting home buyer offers for cash deals that can move quickly. The CASH for Nurses program is designed to turn you into a cash buyer. We will approve you for a mortgage and when you find the house that you want we will purchase the home for you with cash and sell the house back to you. 

Sure there are some extra fees and costs involved but statistically homes sold/bought for cash generally are sold for less. If you have a home that you need to sell before you purchase your next home this is a great program to allow you to not have to worry about selling first. We will buy the new home and wait to close on your new mortgage until you have sold your existing house. 

Currently we are offer through the Nurses as Heroes program a 1 year interest rate buydown paid by the lender to help lower your house payment for the first year!
