Key Takeaways

  • •The government can help with insurance for loans to build or buy homes for people who don't make a lot of money.
  • •This includes homes for rent that are paid for by private companies or the government, as long as they help people with lower incomes.
  • •If a loan fits the rules of certain government-backed programs (like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac), it can also get this insurance.

Example
