NACA provides two interest rates that are less than the market rate. This is based on the below criteria utilizing the Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”) and the Area Median Income (“AMI”).
- Priority Members:
Priority Members are low to moderate income Members or Members purchasing in a low to moderate income census trac.

Purchase Areas
NACA’s mission is to provide affordable homeownership to low-to-moderate-income people and communities. Thus, access to NACA’s Best in America Mortgage is limited to low-to-moderate income people (“Priority Members”) and people purchasing in low-to-moderate income communities (“Priority Areas”). NACA’s eligibility is based on the median family income for a Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”). Since NACA offices service a few MSAs each with different median incomes, you may be a Priority Member in one MSA and not in another. Also, check with the local NACA office to verify the purchase eligibility criteria, since there may be local adjustments to achieve NACA’s mission and affordable outcomes.
Your purchase price plus any repair escrow funds (i.e. funds for repairs to be completed after closing) cannot exceed your approved Maximum Mortgage Amount or the current conforming loan limits. The current limits are $484,350 for a single-family home in most areas and $726,525 in high cost areas with considerably higher amounts for multi-family properties.
- Member or anyone in the household cannot own another property when they close on the NACA mortgage.
- Member must occupy the home as long as they have a mortgage obtained through NACA.
