How to read this list.
We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.
A door is headquartered here when its head office sits inside the county line. The rest are based elsewhere and keep a branch you can walk into. We list both, and we label which is which.
Every institution on this page comes from public federal data — the CDFI Fund certified list (Aug 2026), NCUA credit union data (Jun 2026), and the SBA microloan intermediary list (Sep 2026) — plus a short national tier we verified by hand. We refresh each list as its agency publishes. No listing is paid.
Weld County is where buyers priced out of the Front Range come looking — new subdivisions in the south, older houses in Greeley and the farm towns, and acreage out east. Each of those comes with its own financing quirks: metro district taxes, well and septic rules, severed mineral rights. This guide explains the loan types, who qualifies when income arrives seasonally, what paperwork to gather, and which doors in our directory actually serve buyers here. It asks nothing of you.
It's a process, not a rejection.
A mortgage is a long loan secured by the house itself. The types that matter here:
- 01**conventional loan**
The standard product, sold on to investors, with the strictest credit and documentation standards.
- 02**FHA loan**
Government-insured, built for smaller down payments and imperfect credit.
- 03**VA loan**
For eligible veterans and service members, usually with no down payment.
- 04**USDA loan**
No down payment, but only for addresses the federal government classifies as rural. In a county this large, that covers a great deal of Weld outside the growth corridor.
- 05**renovation loan**
FHA's version rolls purchase and repairs into one mortgage, which is how older houses in Greeley and the farm towns get financed.
- 06**portfolio loan**
A mortgage a credit union keeps on its own books rather than selling. A person decides rather than a formula, which helps unusual files and unusual properties.

Forget what the banks say.
Underwriting turns on four things: income you can document, a credit history or a documented alternative, the debt you already carry against what you earn, and the condition and value of the property.
In Weld County, steady work often does not look steady on a pay stub:
- Beef and food processing work — steady employment with heavy overtime and shift differentials. Lenders typically average variable pay over two years, so bring a longer run of stubs rather than your best recent month.
- Agricultural work, including seasonal crews and equipment operators whose hours peak with planting and harvest. A full year of deposits tells the story a single stub cannot.
- Oilfield service work, which pays well and moves in cycles. Expect questions about the last slow stretch.
- 1099 construction trades working for Front Range builders. For mortgage purposes you are self-employed: two years of returns, and they count your net after deductions — the write-offs that cut your taxes also cut your borrowing power.
- Farm and ranch income, arriving in lumps tied to harvest and sale dates.
- Two-earner and multi-generational households, very common here, sometimes with mixed documentation. This is workable. Say it at the start rather than at the appraisal.
If you hold an ITIN rather than a Social Security Number, some institutions write ITIN mortgages and many do not. Ask straight out. Then ask the question almost nobody asks: will this loan be reported to the credit bureaus? That is what builds the file you will need next time.
Get your papers in order.
Mortgage paperwork is heavier than any other kind of borrowing. Gathering it before you shop turns an anxious process into a manageable one:
- 01Government photo ID and your ITIN or SSN
- 02Two years of W-2s
Or two years of tax returns with Schedule C or Schedule F if you are self-employed or farm
- 03Most recent pay stubs
Plus a year-to-date profit-and-loss sheet if you work for yourself
- 04Two to three months of statements for every bank account, including whichever one holds your down payment
- 05A written explanation and paper trail for large deposits; gift money needs a signed letter from the giver
- 06Proof of rent paid on time if your credit file is thin — canceled checks and money-order receipts count with some lenders
- 07Contact information for your landlord or current lender
- 08Divorce decrees
Child-support orders or bankruptcy discharge papers, if any apply
- 09Homeowners insurance quotes gathered early
Hail is a real factor on the Front Range, and roof age drives both price and insurability
- 10For rural property
The well permit, septic records, any water shares, and disclosure of who owns the mineral rights
- 11For a renovation loan: contractor bids on letterhead

The doors worth knowing.
The honest picture first. Only one institution in this directory is headquartered inside the Weld County line — no bank, no housing-focused loan fund, no statewide mission lender.

Don't fall into these traps.
The most common expensive surprise in this county is a tax bill much larger than the buyer expected, because the subdivision carries its own debt. Read the disclosure, ask what the levy is used for, and ask when it ends.
In the older towns, investors sell houses on these terms constantly. You pay, you carry every repair, and you do not hold the deed — so one missed payment can end the arrangement with nothing to show for years of payments. Have an attorney read it first. Every time.
A well, a septic system, an aging roof and a hail-battered exterior are exactly the things an inspection finds. Pay for it, and add a separate well and septic inspection out east.
Hail season brings contractors working new-owner and claim lists. Never sign at the door, never sign a contract that assigns your insurance claim to the contractor, and check the license with the city or county first.
Federal law entitles you to a written Loan Estimate on a standard form. A lender who will only talk in monthly payments, or cannot produce that form, is hiding something in the fees.
Nobody who calls you unsolicited about your deed, your equity or a foreclosure filing is on your side. Never sign anything transferring title to a stranger.
Charging in advance for loan-modification assistance is widely prohibited. HUD-approved counselors do the same work at no cost.
No honest lender needs your signature today. Read every closing document, including the fee page, and get two written offers before you choose.
Everything below is set by Colorado, and it reads the same in every county in it. The 7 marks above are this county's own doors — who opens one is decided by them, not by the state.
The rules where you are.
Many newer Weld County subdivisions sit inside special or metropolitan taxing districts that finance the roads and pipes through an additional levy on your property. It is legal and disclosed — and it can make two similar houses cost meaningfully different amounts to own. Ask for the district disclosure and read it.
In this county, the mineral estate under a house is frequently owned by someone other than the homeowner, and that owner may have rights to develop it. Existing wells, pipelines and setbacks affect value, insurability and your quality of life. The state agency that regulates oil and gas keeps records, the title work should reveal severed mineral rights, and your agent should raise it before you write an offer.
A rural home on a well needs a valid permit from the state division of water resources, and household wells carry legal limits on how the water may be used — irrigating acreage is not automatically allowed. Appraisers and lenders will ask. Septic systems need their own inspection and county records.
Colorado assesses residential property differently from commercial, and the state offers a homestead exemption for qualifying seniors and disabled veterans. Those exemptions require an application through the county assessor. Nobody files it for you.
Colorado uses a county public trustee process rather than a court foreclosure for most mortgages, and the timelines are firm. If you ever fall behind, call a HUD-approved counselor the week it happens, not the month before a sale date.
Mortgage loan originators in Colorado are licensed by the state's real estate division and registered in the federal NMLS system. Ask for the number; a legitimate originator gives it without hesitating.
The short version.
- 01
Weld County still has houses a working household can buy, but each corner of the county carries its own homework: metro district taxes in the new subdivisions, age and repairs in Greeley and the farm towns, wells and mineral rights on acreage.
- 02
Only one institution in this directory is headquartered inside the county, so start with Northern Colorado in Greeley and ask whether it holds mortgages in portfolio and lends on rural property. Then work the branch tier — Bellco, Canvas, Credit Union of Colorado, Ent, Security Service and Blue — asking each the same questions, including whether it lends to ITIN holders.
- 03
Before you shop, spend a free hour with a HUD-approved housing counselor, and ask every lender whether it participates in Colorado's down-payment assistance programs. If the address is rural, check USDA eligibility — a no-down-payment loan is worth the phone call. And after closing, check whether anyone in your household qualifies for a homestead exemption with the county assessor.
