Housing Loan Program: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to access low-interest home mortgages through the Housing Loan Program and understand how your eligibility is determined.

The Housing Loan Program is a government-backed initiative designed to help individuals secure financing for their own homes.

Who it's for

To qualify for this program, you must be a worker with a formal employment history. This means you need to have a documented record of employment through the official systems required by the issuing agency. Having a consistent history of formal work is the primary requirement for those looking to enter the mortgage process.

What you get

The main benefit of this program is access to a low-interest home mortgage. This type of financing is intended to make homeownership more accessible by providing loan terms that are structured differently than standard commercial bank loans. It is designed to support workers in their goal of owning a residence.

What it costs you

There is no upfront fee mentioned, but your ability to secure a loan is tied to a specific evaluation process. The system uses a points-based calculation to determine your eligibility and the specifics of your loan. These "Puntos INFONAVIT" are calculated based on your individual circumstances, specifically looking at your current salary and your age. Because your age and income are key factors in this points system, your specific results will vary from person to person.

The catch to know

While the program offers low-interest options, it is important to be aware that the interest rate is not always the lowest available in the broader financial market. Before committing, you should compare these terms against other mortgage options to ensure the program meets your specific financial needs.

How to apply

  1. Confirm that you have a documented history of formal employment.
  2. Review your current salary and age to understand how they influence your points.
  3. Check the official status of your points within the system.
  4. Contact the issuing agency to discuss your specific mortgage options.
