Mortgage Credit Certificate

Mortgage Credit Certificate = Free Money!!

You can save thousands over the life of the loan with the Mortgage Credit Certificate program! The MCC allows you to claim 20, 30, or 50 percent of the mortgage interest as a tax credit on your annual federal IRS tax returns. The remaining interest paid is still eligible for the home mortgage interest deduction. The Mortgage Credit rate is based on the loan amount.
