A Louisiana Mortgage Certificate (LMC) is a loan product offered by the Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC). It is a low-interest, fixed-rate loan that helps eligible borrowers purchase a home without a down payment. The LMC is available to first-time homebuyers, current homeowners, and veterans. The loan amount available is up to $500,000 and can be used for the purchase of a single-family residence, a two-unit residence, or a condominium. There are three different types of Louisiana Mortgage Certificates: the Homeownership Program, the Veterans Initiative Program, and the Home Ownership for People with Disabilities Program. The Homeownership Program is designed for first-time homebuyers or people who have not owned a home in the past three years. The Veterans Initiative Program is for veterans who are first-time homebuyers, current homeowners, or veterans with a disability. The Homeownership for People with Disabilities Program is for individuals with disabilities who are first-time homebuyers.
