Working with us from East Arkansas
Can you handle a loan in East Arkansas from Bentonville?
Yes. Hero Mortgage (NMLS #1946359) is licensed throughout the State of Arkansas. The application is our secure online form, the conversations happen by phone, and the closing happens where the property is.
How do I know if a Delta address qualifies for USDA?
USDA eligibility is set by designated area maps plus household income limits. Much of East Arkansas qualifies, but it's address-by-address, so we check the specific property before you count on it.
I work in Memphis but want to buy in Arkansas. Does that complicate the loan?
No. Where you work and where you buy don't have to match. We're licensed for the Arkansas side, and out-of-state income documents the same way in-state income does.
