Great news for first time homebuyers getting financed with nevada Home at last program!


The Nevada Rural Housing Authority Home at Last™ Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program offers qualified first-time buyers a federal income tax credit equal to 40% of the interest paid on their mortgage loan.

  • Savings continue each year based on actual interest paid on the home
  • No asset limits for homebuyers

Total savings over life of loan: $44,716
Who qualifies:
  • First-time homebuyers (have not owned a home in the past three years) or qualified veterans who will live in home as primary residence
  • Households meeting income qualifications and normal FHA, VA, Conventional or USDA underwriting requirements 
  • Home purchase falls below maximum price

Notice of recapture tax:
Buyers using the Home at Last™ MCC program are typically subject to a recapture tax if they sell their home within 9 years of purchase. However, NRHA now offers a reimbursement program for buyers which removes any risk of having to pay the racapture tax. Click to learn more.
