Second Mortgage Loan Program and Mortgage Credit Certificate for Homebuyers in North Carolina
Page 2

This program is basically intended for homebuyers whose income is 80% of the area's median income. Also, this loan program is only obtainable through selected nonprofit or government agencies and is only made available to eligible home buyers who work through local agencies under the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency’s New Homes Loan Program.

In addition, the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency is also offering another beneficial program called the Mortgage Credit Certificate Program. This program allows home buyers who satisfy the qualifying income requirements, sales price, and first-time home buyer stipulations to obtain a Mortgage Credit Certificate which can be utilized in process of procuring a federal tax credit.

This Mortgage Credit Certificate, otherwise referred to as MCC, will work in a manner that enables first time homebuyers to claim 30% of the interest that they pay on their mortgage, which can then be used to pay off their federal income taxes.

Any Mortgage Credit Certificate can be used in conjunction with any mortgage loan program including some adjustable rate mortgages except the NC HFA's FirstHome Mortgage Program.

The MCC will not be offered directly by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency, instead it is made available by third-party lenders that are working with the agency.

If you wish to read more about this programs, you can contact the NC HFA office or check out its official website.
