NCHFA Home
Loans

Helpful mortgage information from Alpha Mortgage, our trusted home financing partner.

At Alpha Mortgage, we are proud to partner with the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA) to help more North Carolinians achieve the dream of homeownership. Through special loan programs and down payment assistance, NCHFA provides affordable options for first-time buyers, veterans, and moderate-income families who need a little extra help getting started.

What Is an NCHFA Housing Loan?

An NCHFA Housing Loan is a mortgage program that combines affordable financing with down payment assistance. It’s designed to make homeownership more accessible for North Carolina residents who meet income and residency requirements.

Down Payment & Financing Requirements:

One of the most valuable aspects of NCHFA financing is the down payment assistance available to eligible buyers:

  • NC Home Advantage Mortgage™ – Offers up to 3% of the loan amount in down payment assistance.
  • NC 1st Home Advantage Down Payment – Provides $15,000 in down payment assistance for qualifying first-time buyers and military veterans.
  • Assistance is structured as a forgivable, interest-free second mortgage after a set period of time, helping you start with more financial stability.

  • Eligible properties include single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and new manufactured homes.

  • Homes must meet NCHFA’s purchase price limits and property guidelines.
