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.
All About ARMs – Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) can be a good fit for a range of homebuyers, especially if you think rates may be going down or leveling out in the future. While ARMs earned a bad reputation in the past, subsequent legislation put more protections in place for homebuyers, making ARMs a worthy option to consider.
