Anyone ever worked with this group or have any inside info about them?

NEIGHBORHOOD ASSISTANCE CORPORATION OF AMERICA (NACA)

[VERO1]

Not me. Who are they and what do they do?

[TripleDigitRide]

The Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America ("NACA") is a non-profit, community advocacy and homeownership organization. NACA’s primary goal is to build strong, healthy neighborhoods in urban and rural areas nationwide through affordable homeownership. NACA has made the dream of homeownership a reality for working people by counseling them honestly and effectively with far better terms than those provided even in the prime market.

I honestly know very little about them. I recently met someone who took advantage of their services and was more than impressed. I didn't get many details, so I thought I'd try to find someone else who may be able to shed some light.

Sounds like an ACORN clone to me

nothing wrong with Acorn or NACA when it helps a decent hardworking person realize a dream.

Never heard of NACA but if they will help you and be a good resource I say use them.

I had a similar thought when I first visited the website.

Being a single father who's never received a penny in child support or financial assistance of any kind (private or governmental), I sure wouldn't mind someone helping me get the best deal possible on my first home.

I wouldn't be looking for free handouts or something that could negatively effect others, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't getting myself into something like that.

Nevermind. After reading This Page, I want nothing to do with NACA.

My friend, I feel for you, but I believe that YOU have the ability of making smart decisions yourself without the "assistance" of a third party. I am with you on making sure youhave the best deal for your situation, but most things I have read about groups like this and ACORN is that they are "helping" you make decisions that are already available to you. Good luck in your first home purchase!
