NIFA's standard loan reservation option is valid for 60 days. This means lenders have 60 days to close once the loan reservation is entered in our system. If for some reason a delay occurs with processing the loan, NIFA may be able to extend the loan reservation. Please note there may be some situations NIFA will not be able to approve an extension or may need to charge an extension fee.
If a homebuyer is building a new home, NIFA's extended loan reservation may be an option. This option is valid for 150 days. There is a one-time upfront fee of .50% of the loan amount. The fee is refundable and will be credited back to the homebuyer at closing as long as the loan closes within 150 days once the loan reservation is entered in our system. If the loan does not close within 150 days, NIFA reserves the right to keep the fee.
