The CDFIs, credit unions, and microlenders that actually say yes — county by county, in two languages. We are not a lender. Nobody paid to be listed. And where a county has no good doors, we say so.

THE GUIDE

Hidalgo County is one of the fastest-growing regions in Texas, anchored by McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, and Pharr. This guide walks you through home financing options that are actually available locally — from ITIN-friendly credit unions and CDFIs to state-backed down payment assistance programs. Whether you are a solo contractor building your first home purchase or a small investor adding a rental property, this guide names the real institutions that serve the Rio Grande Valley and explains how to approach them with confidence.

WHO SAYS YES HERE
7CDFIs

Certified by the U.S. Treasury to lend where a bank will not. Nonprofit, patient, and used to a file that is not clean.

Affordable Homes of South Texas, Inc. · Aob Ventures, Inc.
10Credit unions

Owned by their members, not by shareholders. They look at your whole story rather than a score, and that is the difference when a bank says no.
