First-time homebuyer and looking into making your dream a reality?
Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program entitles qualified homebuyers to reduce the amount of their federal income tax liability by an amount equal to a portion of the interest paid during the year on a home mortgage. This tax credit allows the buyer to qualify more easily for a loan by increasing the effective income of the buyer.
