Do you need to speak with a lender?
The best loan product for you may be different for someone else. Lenders look at your credit, income, savings and debt to income ratio when determining your pre-approval amount. When purchasing an affordable unit, especially in the City of Boston, please consider lenders who have ONE+ Boston, ONE Mortgage and/or MassHousing loan products. These are the most affordable loan products available for buyers earning less than 100% AMI.
While there are tons of products available,
speak with your lender to identify the best one for your situation
Here are some of our preferred lenders who offer these products, excellent customer service and have a track record of getting buyers to the closing table!
