First-Time Homebuyers Tax Credit | Martini Mortgage Group

February 5, 2023 by Kevin Martini

Many first-time homebuyers in North Carolina may be eligible to save up to $2,000 a year with the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) offered by the Martini Mortgage Group in partnership with North Carolina Housing and Finance Agency (NCHFA).  This tax credit is not just for the first year, it is up to $2,000 every year as long as the home remains your primary residence.  

A MCC allows eligible first-time homebuyers to receive a federal tax credit of 30% of the mortgage interest paid annually on existing homes (50% on new construction). If you are one of the many that will qualify, you could save up to $2,000 per year on your federal tax liability.

Martini Mortgage Podcast Special Episode 172: Tax Credit 

Difference between Tax Credits and Tax Deductions

Understanding the difference between tax credits and tax deductions can help reduce your tax burden. A tax credit directly reduces the amount you owe to the government, while a tax deduction reduces your taxable income. With the MCC you are able to get both, assuming you itemize your tax return.

Imagine that after all eligible deductions are taken out of an individual’s income, they come to be taxed on $50,000. For example, a tax credit of $2,000 in this case would help reduce the tax liability from $5,000 (at a rate of 10%) to $3,000 – for a tax savings of $2,000 overall.

A tax credit directly reduces the amount of tax you owe dollar-for-dollar.  So a $2,000 tax credit lowers your tax by $2,000.

On the other hand, if this person were able to have their taxable income reduced from $50,000 to $47,500 through a tax deduction of $2,500 – their tax bill would be significantly lower at just $4,750 (from previously calculated: 10% x 50000 = 5000). Clearly understanding the difference between tax credits and tax deductions could result in significant savings for individuals or companies who are filing returns with the government.

What is an appraisal and how do you read it? 

November 16, 2022 by Kevin Martini

Comparables (a.k.a. comps), adjustments, appraiser’s estimate of value – OH MY!

What is an appraisal?

The Uniform Residential Apprisal Report often referred to as an appraisal provides an estimate of your home’s value. It provides a professional appraiser’s opinion of what he/she thinks your home may be worth. An appraisal must comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and all regulatory requirements. Raleigh mortgage lenders base your home loan amount on the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price.

What are the keywords to know in Uniform Residential Apprisal Report?

Subject Property – the real estate being appraised 

Comparable Sales – similar properties located in the Subject Property market area

Adjustments – a line-item addition/subtraction from the value of a Comparable Sale 

How does an appraiser determine a value? 

Appraisers are usually required by the lending guidelines to compare your home with similar homes that have sold within the past 6 months. The appraiser then makes adjustments based on the differences in comparable sales. For illustration ONLY:

Your Purchase Price: Let’s say you sign a contract to purchase a home for $800,000.  Oh by the way, the home you are purchasing is the Subject Property.

Comparable Sale # 1 sold for $730,000: However, it doesn’t have a finished basement compared to Subject Property which does. So, the appraiser adjusts the sales price up by $80,000 to $810,000. This means the appraiser thinks Comparable Sale # 1 could have sold for $810,000 if it was more like the Subject Property.

Comparable Sale # 2 sold for $720,000: However, it only has a 1-car garage, compared to the Subject Property which has a 2-car garage. So, the appraiser adjusts the sales price up by $60,000 to $780,000. This means the appraiser thinks Comparable Sale # 2 could have sold for $780,000 if it was more like the Subject Property.

Comparable Sale # 3 sold for $800,000: However, it’s a little larger than the Subject Property. So, the appraiser adjusts the sales price down by $20,000 to $780,000. This means the appraiser thinks Comparable Sale # 3 could have sold for $780,000 if it was more like the Subject Property.

Reconciliation (a.k.a. Appriaser’s Opinion of Value): In this example, the appraiser’s opinion is the Subject Property is worth $790,000 based on the Comparable Sales and all the Adjustments outlined above.

What if you disagree with the Appriaser’s Opinion of Value?

Everyone is entitled opinion of value however the mortgage guidelines require the loan amount to be based on the LESSER of the appraised value or the purchase price. If the value comes in lower that expected one can appeal the appraisal. Acceptance of an appeal does not mean the opinion of value will or ill not change. For an appeal request to be accepted, one  must provide a written statement along with alternative Comparable Sales.

      00:01:21,931 –> 00:01:29,558
      [kevin_martini]: labor statistics reported that two hundred and
      sixty three thousand jobs were created in september

      16
      00:01:29,658 –> 00:01:36,473
      [kevin_martini]: twenty twenty two and this was above
      the expectations the unemployment rate decrease from three

      17
      00:01:36,574 –> 00:01:42,724
      [kevin_martini]: point seven to three point five per
      cent to the data from these reports spook

      18
      00:01:42,864 –> 00:01:48,934
      [kevin_martini]: the markets because it provides an unofficial
      signal that the fad will continue on its

      19
      00:01:49,115 –> 00:01:55,306
      [kevin_martini]: tightening journey and it is likely to
      be very aggressive to get inflation under control

      20
      00:01:55,427 –> 00:02:02,926
      [kevin_martini]: moving forward let me be clear the
      fan needs tightening because they need to reduce

      21
      00:02:02,966 –> 00:02:10,218
      [kevin_martini]: demand in the market place and this
      reduced demand should be the thing that teams

      22
      00:02:10,278 –> 00:02:15,824
      [kevin_martini]: the beast and that beast is inflation
      it is my opinion the fed will raise

      23
      00:02:15,984 –> 00:02:22,195
      [kevin_martini]: rates in the november and december meetings
      i also believe the fed fung rate could

      24
      00:02:22,255 –> 00:02:30,295
      [kevin_martini]: be increased by one and a half
      point it is an undisputable fact we have

      25
      00:02:30,396 –> 00:02:35,865
      [kevin_martini]: not seen inflation at this level for
      decades and the fens actions to be transparent

      26
      00:02:35,945 –> 00:02:43,097
      [kevin_martini]: have helped but they’ve helped incrementally but
      inflation is still persistent and high this is

      27
      00:02:43,257 –> 00:02:49,668
      [kevin_martini]: critical because inflation is the nemesis or
      the arch enemy to mortgage rates you see

      28
      00:02:50,820 –> 00:02:55,934
      [kevin_martini]: mortgage rates are not controlled by the
      federal reserve nor do mortgage rates come from

      29
      00:02:56,015 –> 00:03:02,653
      [kevin_martini]: the stock market mortgage rates live in
      the bond market inflating a road the return

      30
      00:03:03,075 –> 00:03:08,185
      [kevin_martini]: of a bond just because there is
      inflation it does not mean the markets will

      31
      00:03:08,285 –> 00:03:14,515
      [kevin_martini]: stop in the simplest of examples market
      makers will offer a higher yield to a

      32
      00:03:14,616 –> 00:03:22,748
      [kevin_martini]: mortgage bond investor when more gage bond
      yield is increased that means mortgage rates will

      33
      00:03:22,948 –> 00:03:28,823
      [kevin_martini]: go higher now i feel that the
      feds actions will get inflation under control in

      34
      00:03:28,883 –> 00:03:34,468
      [kevin_martini]: the first quarter of twenty twenty three
      it’s critical that i share this based on

      35
      00:03:34,628 –> 00:03:40,517
      [kevin_martini]: history the fact has always been late
      to the party and they stayed too long

      36
      00:03:40,597 –> 00:03:45,305
      [kevin_martini]: to the party they were clearly too
      late to this party because they thought inflation

      37
      00:03:45,405 –> 00:03:54,367
      [kevin_martini]: was transiatory not sticky the developing story
      is what will they do when inflationary pressures

      38
      00:03:54,728 –> 00:04:02,437
      [kevin_martini]: are east stay tuned i think they
      will stay after the party is over and

      39
      00:04:02,517 –> 00:04:10,841
      [kevin_martini]: then they will promoting growth rapid massive
      growth and this growth will provide a sharp

      40
      00:04:11,242 –> 00:04:17,019
      [kevin_martini]: drop in mortgage rates by the way
      that’s just not me fan may has said

      41
      00:04:17,080 –> 00:04:24,192
      [kevin_martini]: that too let’s talk about mortgage rates
      for a hot second for some the current

      42
      00:04:24,273 –> 00:04:29,682
      [kevin_martini]: rate environment was not possible however for
      a long term fans of the martini mortgage

      43
      00:04:29,742 –> 00:04:35,176
      [kevin_martini]: podcast they were advised that this was
      likely to happen and for those new fans

      44
      00:04:35,297 –> 00:04:41,786
      [kevin_martini]: let me be clear it is probable
      that mortgage rates will get worse before they

      45
      00:04:41,846 –> 00:04:48,752
      [kevin_martini]: get better it is not unthinkable that
      mortgage rates could start with an eight sooner

      46
      00:04:49,154 –> 00:04:56,289
      [kevin_martini]: than later there are advanced strategies offered
      by myself and fellow morgan strategist logan martine

      very simple program but it is very powerful

      53
      00:05:35,414 –> 00:05:39,782
      [kevin_martini]: event there’s an improvement in the rate
      when the future home buyer goes under contract

      program offered by the martini mortgage group for

      57
      00:05:59,335 –> 00:06:04,504
      [kevin_martini]: more information about the seller paid by

      58
      00:06:04,544 –> 00:06:12,057
      [kevin_martini]: the martini mortgage podcast since it explains
      it in great detail the benefits of a

      59
      00:06:12,157 –> 00:06:18,903
      [kevin_martini]: seller paid by down just give you
      a glimpse if that’s okay real belief fly

      60
      00:06:18,983 –> 00:06:23,990
      [kevin_martini]: there are three types of by downs
      there’s a one one by down there’s a

      61
      00:06:24,371 –> 00:06:30,040
      [kevin_martini]: two one by down and there’s a
      three to one by down for illustration only

      62
      00:06:30,161 –> 00:06:35,670
      [kevin_martini]: let’s assume your rate you lock with
      our no contract lock program at six per

      63
      00:06:35,730 –> 00:06:42,560
      [kevin_martini]: cent and let us assume you negotiate
      or two one seller paid buy down this

      64
      00:06:42,700 –> 00:06:47,027
      [kevin_martini]: would mean in the first year your
      rate would be four per cent and in

      65
      00:06:47,068 –> 00:06:50,914
      [kevin_martini]: the second year your rate would be
      five per cent and then it would go

      66
      00:06:51,114 –> 00:06:57,733
      [kevin_martini]: to six for your three through thirty
      seller paid buy downs are a win win

      67
      00:06:58,396 –> 00:07:06,462
      [kevin_martini]: since this program benefits both the seller
      and the buyer too it’s not just me

      68
      00:07:06,783 –> 00:07:16,610
      [kevin_martini]: but it is many experts believe that
      the mortgage rates will significantly improve towards the

      69
      00:07:16,731 –> 00:07:22,039
      [kevin_martini]: end of twenty twenty three to the
      beginning of twenty twenty four the experts that

      70
      00:07:22,140 –> 00:07:26,447
      [kevin_martini]: our bullets she that could be as
      soon as the second quarter of twenty twenty

      71
      00:07:26,487 –> 00:07:31,242
      [kevin_martini]: three to be transparen i think the
      bulls are being a little bit too aggressive

      72
      00:07:31,302 –> 00:07:36,603
      [kevin_martini]: and running too fast here is the
      punch line the home loan rate you get

      73
      00:07:36,683 –> 00:07:40,190
      [kevin_martini]: today is not likely going to be
      the home loan rate you will have in

      74
      00:07:40,230 –> 00:07:45,891
      [kevin_martini]: a couple of years because when the
      thed gets inflation under control again when not

      75
      00:07:46,071 –> 00:07:51,736
      [kevin_martini]: if and while they are staying at
      the party too long which they will there

      76

      77
      00:07:58,156 –> 00:08:04,515
      [kevin_martini]: they expect rates to start with the
      four sometime in twenty twenty three this is

      78
      00:08:04,635 –> 00:08:11,869
      [kevin_martini]: why the phrase marry the house and
      date the rate is being said so frequently

      79
      00:08:11,949 –> 00:08:20,737
      [kevin_martini]: by myself my fellow mortgage strategist logan
      martini and others let me break it down

      80
      00:08:21,770 –> 00:08:28,080
      [kevin_martini]: it is very probable that mortgage rates
      will increase over the next three to six

      81
      00:08:28,280 –> 00:08:34,497
      [kevin_martini]: months to levels that millennials have never
      seen and even some folks that are generation

      82
      00:08:34,800 –> 00:08:42,117
      [kevin_martini]: exerts mortgage rates are not the only
      thing going up rents are going up to

      83
      00:08:43,090 –> 00:08:48,900
      [kevin_martini]: don’t believe me well let me share
      the facts in rale north carolina from july

      84
      00:08:49,100 –> 00:08:54,589
      [kevin_martini]: twenty twenty one to july twenty twenty
      two rents for one bedroom apartment went up

      85
      00:08:55,250 –> 00:08:59,657
      [kevin_martini]: two point one per cent and a
      two bedroom apartment went up forty four point

      86
      00:08:59,838 –> 00:09:05,848
      [kevin_martini]: eight per cent in durham the bull
      city of north carolina for the same period

      87
      00:09:05,928 –> 00:09:11,250
      [kevin_martini]: of time to every apartment went up
      fifty four point two per cent you know

      88
      00:09:11,310 –> 00:09:17,861
      [kevin_martini]: what else is going up home values
      did you know that three point eight four

      89
      00:09:18,122 –> 00:09:24,574
      [kevin_martini]: per cent is the average annual growth
      in home prices from ten eighty nine to

      90
      00:09:24,735 –> 00:09:32,198
      [kevin_martini]: two thousand nineteen check it out i
      took out the eighteen point five per cent

      91
      00:09:32,338 –> 00:09:38,068
      [kevin_martini]: of annual appreciation per year for the
      last two years of this calculation because the

      92
      00:09:38,730 –> 00:09:46,075
      [kevin_martini]: home christ growth during the presence of
      the eagle pandemic was a typical so three

      93
      00:09:46,155 –> 00:09:52,880
      [kevin_martini]: point eight four per cent is the
      past what about the future it is my

      94
      00:09:53,001 –> 00:09:58,890
      [kevin_martini]: opinion what one person says about the
      future of home values is irrelevant for me

      95
      00:09:59,491 –> 00:10:04,239
      [kevin_martini]: and for the families the martini mortgage
      group serves the gold standard of future home

      96
      00:10:04,520 –> 00:10:10,791
      [kevin_martini]: uses the home price expectation survey done
      every quarter by pullsnomics and that is because

      97
      00:10:10,871 –> 00:10:17,091
      [kevin_martini]: it’s not one person’s opinion it is
      the opinion of over one hundred experts oh

      98
      00:10:17,191 –> 00:10:23,201
      [kevin_martini]: by the way the home price expectation
      survey is expecting a five year cumulative appreciation

      99
      00:10:23,762 –> 00:10:30,739
      [kevin_martini]: of over twenty four percent closer to
      twenty five actually let me get granular for

      100
      00:10:30,800 –> 00:10:37,347
      [kevin_martini]: a hot second let me not use
      the current forecast from the home price expectation

      101
      00:10:37,487 –> 00:10:43,959
      [kevin_martini]: survey data nor the data from the
      past twenty years prior to the evil pandemic

      102
      00:10:45,400 –> 00:10:51,792
      [kevin_martini]: let me be super conservative and let
      me just say three percent appreciation a year

      103
      00:10:52,293 –> 00:10:59,012
      [kevin_martini]: for the next five years what would
      this mean simply put a fifteen thousand dollar

      104
      00:10:59,072 –> 00:11:05,478
      [kevin_martini]: down payment on a three hundred thousand
      house could grow to sixty two thousand dollars

      105
      00:11:05,558 –> 00:11:12,033
      [kevin_martini]: over five years twenty five thousand dollar
      thou payment on a five hundred thousand dollar

      106
      00:11:12,114 –> 00:11:19,370
      [kevin_martini]: house could grow to a hundred and
      four thousand dollars in over five years a

      107
      00:11:19,590 –> 00:11:25,600
      [kevin_martini]: forty five thousand dollar down payment on
      a nine hundred thousand dollar home could grow

      108
      00:11:25,801 –> 00:11:33,723
      [kevin_martini]: to a hundred and eighty eight thousand
      dollars over five years not owning a home

      109
      00:11:34,364 –> 00:11:42,005
      [kevin_martini]: could not just cost you thousands but
      tens of thousands it’s in we all have

      110
      00:11:42,065 –> 00:11:46,902
      [kevin_martini]: to have a roof over our head
      some will rent it and when you rent

      111
      00:11:47,222 –> 00:11:52,716
      [kevin_martini]: you pay a mortgage you’re not paying
      your mortgage you’re just paying for your landlords

      112
      00:11:52,816 –> 00:11:59,365
      [kevin_martini]: mortgage for them others will own that
      roof and logan martini and myself help them

      113
      00:11:59,525 –> 00:12:05,734
      [kevin_martini]: secure the proper mortgage strategy for that
      roof let me say this another way for

      114
      00:12:05,814 –> 00:12:13,037
      [kevin_martini]: the people the back the growth in
      home appreciation has decelerated in twenty twenty two

      115
      00:12:13,398 –> 00:12:19,288
      [kevin_martini]: but just because home prices have decelerated
      it does not mean homes are going to

      116
      00:12:19,368 –> 00:12:27,025
      [kevin_martini]: depreciate in the aggregate poets are going
      to continue to appreciate and grant it in

      117
      00:12:27,245 –> 00:12:34,970
      [kevin_martini]: some markets that were extra frothy we
      may see a decline from their peak key

      118
      00:12:35,151 –> 00:12:43,426
      [kevin_martini]: word is some markets right now home
      buyers can still find opportunities and i believe

      119
      00:12:43,506 –> 00:12:52,690
      [kevin_martini]: that today a home buyer has the
      proper conditions to secure more buying power if

      120
      00:12:52,730 –> 00:12:56,817
      [kevin_martini]: you’re thinking of buying a home for
      the first time or as a repeat home

      121
      00:12:56,837 –> 00:13:02,486
      [kevin_martini]: buyer simply give a mortgage strategist with
      a martini mortgage group a jingle by dialing

      122
      00:13:02,546 –> 00:13:08,784

      nine thirty four because it should always be

      [kevin_martini]: home long first and then go find
      your home okay okay okay let me talk

      many good people were hurt during the housing

      125
      00:13:21,265 –> 00:13:26,734
      [kevin_martini]: crisis in two thousand eight if you
      are not directly impacted is likely that someone

      126
      00:13:26,794 –> 00:13:33,524
      [kevin_martini]: you cared about was negatively impacted is
      sad what happened during the housing crisis but

      127
      00:13:33,604 –> 00:13:39,553
      [kevin_martini]: the events that caused it are not
      present today sure the housing crisis caused the

      128
      00:13:39,633 –> 00:13:45,523
      [kevin_martini]: great recession however the great recession did
      not cause the housing crisis let me be

      129
      00:13:46,004 –> 00:13:56,492
      [kevin_martini]: crystal clear recession does not housing crisis
