More funds available for 1st time home buyers in North Carolina

Just when you thought an $8,000 tax credit was a great gift from the federal government here comes Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency!

I just got word that there is another federal tax credit for eligible 1st time home buyers here in North Carolina.  It's a tax credit of up to 20% of your annual mortgage interest AND it can be combined with the $8,000 federal tax credit that's in effect until December 2009.  it can save you up to $2,000 each year that you live in your new home in taxes.

Because this tax credit is immediate it means you could change your withholding allowance on your W$ which in turn decreases your Tax liability and increases your monthly take home pay.  Another bonus for 1st time home buyers looking to buy their 1st home.

Have you been thinking about buying your first home?  Well doing so in NC just got more appealing.  To learn more and find out if you qualify call 1-800-393-0988 or visit www.nchfa.com

Pamela, if that doesn't get some more people off the fence, I don't know what will. Our THDA program is loaning the $8000 so people can get in their homes. It's 0% interest until June of 2010. Not as good as NC but it helps!

Connie, it's so refreshing to see what is available for 1st time home buyers.  I'm proud that NC does step up to the plate and see where money is needed to help folks buy a home. TN's interest free loan on that $8,000 is sweet too!  Let's just hope everyone eligible will learn about and use these programs.

Pamela,

Congrats on North Carolina's response to our current economic situation. Unfortunately, Connecticut is one of the states not making extra help a priority yet...
