Additional First-Time Buyer Resources
In addition to the first-time home buyer loan programs, Pacific Home Loans offers the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Grant and resources for Home Buyers Counseling.
With the MCC Grant you will increase your buying power by reducing your employment tax equal to 20% of your annual mortgage interest. This could save you thousands of dollars per year.
MCC Grant
The Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Grant is a financial incentive designed to assist homebuyers by providing a dollar-for-dollar reduction in federal income tax liability. This program aims to make homeownership more affordable, allowing eligible individuals to claim a percentage of their annual mortgage interest as a tax credit, thereby enhancing their overall purchasing power and long-term affordability.
Homebuyer Counseling
Homebuyer Counseling is a personalized advisory service designed for those entering the homeownership journey. This educational resource provides guidance on budgeting, mortgage options, and the homebuying process, empowering individuals to make informed decisions for successful and sustainable homeownership.
