The San Diego Regional Mortgage Credit Certificate Program allows qualified first-time homebuyers to reduce their federal income tax by up to 20 percent of the annual interest paid on a mortgage loan. With less being paid in taxes, the homebuyer's net earnings increase, enabling him/her to more easily qualify for a mortgage loan. Purchasing property in designated areas increases the income eligibility and purchase price limits, as well as removes the first-time homebuyer requirement. An MCC may only be used to purchase single-family detached homes, condominiums, townhomes and manufactured homes on a permanent foundation.
Eligibility
The property to be purchased must be located within an unincorporated area of San Diego County, or in the cities of Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, El Cajon, Encinitas, Escondido, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, National City, San Marcos, Santee, or Vista. The cities of San Diego and Oceanside operate their own individual MCC programs.
