Mortgage myths you can forget
MassHousing – If you’re considering buying a home in Massachusetts, it’s worth a look, as eligibility requirements aren’t as stringent as you might think. MassHousing offers down payment assistance, low rates, and job-loss payment protection mortgage insurance, to name a few of the many benefits.
