I made up this flyer to explain a great first time home buyer's program that give tax credits to buyers.  Hallmark is one of the few lenders approved in Indiana to offer this program.  It generally only takes about 6 months to make up for the upfront fee & every month after that is pure savings!  This is truly a great government program that not enough people know about!

You can also go to Indiana Housing's website for more information about the program: http://ihcda.in.gov/buyers_faqs.aspx

Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC)

Offered by:

Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority (IHCDA)

 

Did you know that your 1st time home buyers could qualify for a tax credit on their federal income taxes?  There are only 3 requirements:

 

  1. Must be a 1st time home buyer:  Anyone who has not had ownership interest in a home during the past 3 years.  
  2. Household Income Limit (Fort Wayne & surrounding area)
    • 1-2 member household: $60,600
    • 3+ member household: $69,690
  3. Acquisition Limit (Fort Wayne & surrounding area)
    • New or existing home sales price limit: $237,031

  • Reservation Fee = 0.50% of the mortgage amount
    • Example: $100,000 mortgage x 0.50% = $500 one-time fee up front
  •   How does it help a customer qualify?
    • FHA:  The monthly MCC credit can be subtracted directly from the buyer's proposed PITI before the ratios are calculated.
    • Conventional:  The monthly MCC credit should be added to the borrower's income before ratios are calculated.
    • VA:  The borrower's federal tax liability should be reduced by the MCC credit.  This will only improve the buyer's residual income position and will have no impact on the buyer's ratios.
  • Reservations are being accepted on a first come, first serve basis
  • Takes no extra time to close & requires no additional inspections

MCC Credit Chart

Loan Amount                                                                                                MCC Tax Credit %

$90,001 +                                                                                                        20%

$70,001 to 90,000                                                                                         25%

$50,001 to 70,000                                                                                         30%

$0 to $50,000                                                                                                  35%

  

Example Yearly Tax Credit Calculation

If a customer bought a home with a $100,000 loan amount at 6.500% interest rate, they would get a tax credit of $6,500 (annual interest) x 20% = $1,300!  That equals $108.33 every month for the first year!

Just came upon your site.  Is there still money left for a home purchase as of 10/16/2009?  Does it run out?

BP,

The MCC money can run out but they do have money right now!  I currently have 8 customers in my pipeline right now that are using the MCC in conjunction with their first home purchase!!!  Feel free to contact me if you'd like more information or if you'd like a free pre-approval.  Thanks & have a great weekend!  Nathan

Cheryl, yes, the MCC continues to be an AWESOME benefit for anyone that hasn't owned a home in the last 3 years & that is under the household income limits!  It just makes sense for so many people because the breakeven point is typically only 6 months!
