Your real odds
No application volume or approval rate data is published, so competitiveness is genuinely unclear.
As a CDFI, NLS is built to serve borrowers who don't qualify through traditional lenders, which tends to mean more accessible underwriting, but their public-facing programs center on homeownership and business lending terms need to be confirmed directly with them.

Worth knowing
NLS operates multiple Chicago offices and accepts rolling applications, so there is no deadline to race toward, but their public website focuses on residential products and business loan details are not published online, making a direct conversation the only way to get real answers.
