Arizona history

Arizona was not a state until 1912

If you're from the US or Mexico, you most likely already have some knowledge of Arizona's historical background. Arizona was formerly a part of Mexico, as were many other states in the Western portion of the contiguous United States, until the US annexed around half of Mexico's territory following the Mexican-American War.

Arizona became the 48th state in the Union in 1912, despite the fact that the territory was given in 1848. Prior to Mexico acquiring ownership, Spain held it. Naturally, this is the main inspiration behind the names of numerous towns, cities, monuments, and other sites throughout the state.

Frequently asked questions

Arizona down payment questions

Our team answers by phone or email during business hours, and confirms what Arizona has available where you are buying.

Is down payment assistance available in Arizona?

Yes. Arizona runs state and local programs toward your down payment and closing costs, and ijara CDC can pair them with a riba-free structure.

Can DPA be used with Sharia-compliant financing?

Yes. The assistance covers your contribution to the co-ownership, and the agreement itself stays free of riba.

Who administers the Arizona programs?

They are state and city administered, so the amount, eligibility and repayment terms vary by where in Arizona you are buying.

Do I have to be a first-time buyer?

Many Arizona programs are aimed at first-time buyers, though not all. Our team will confirm which ones you qualify for.

How much can I receive?

It depends on the program and your household income. Contact us for the current position where you are buying.

About ten minutes, and it does not affect your credit.
