Mortgage Credit Certificates – A Major savings for First Time Home Buyers!

This is a Great Benefit not everyone understands. If you are a first-time home buyer (see definition here), you can apply for a mortgage interest tax credit known as a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC). An MCC reduces your federal income taxes every year by allowing you to get 20% of what you spent on mortgage interest back as a tax credit. Because the tax credit refunds a portion of your mortgage interest, it also effectively reduces your mortgage interest rate. Lenders can actually use the savings as Income to help you qualify! I can connect you with Trusted Local Lenders that understand how to use this Credit, Lets Talk soon!
