Community Heroes Loan Program

You serve our communities. Let us help serve you.


As a police officer, firefighter, teacher, EMT, or paramedic, your local neighborhoods rely on you. At Waterstone Mortgage, we believe your service should be rewarded with a low down payment Community Heroes mortgage loan.


While nearly 50% of renters mistakenly believe they need to put 20% or more down on a home purchase,* this typically isn't true. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or a repeat homebuyer, the Community Heroes loan program could be an ideal fit for you.

All loan requests are subject to credit approval as well as specific loan program requirements and guidelines. With Adjustable Rate Mortgage loans, the rate is variable and may increase or decrease every year after the initial fixed rate period based on changes to an index. This could result in an increase in the monthly payment.
