❓ Q: Does the Texas Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) save money upfront or over time?

✅ A: The Texas MCC Credit can save money over time — and that's what makes it so powerful.

Unlike down payment assistance that helps at closing, the Texas MCC works every single year you own and live in your home. You may be eligible to claim a 15% federal income tax credit on the mortgage interest you pay annually — for the life of your loan.

That's potential savings every tax season, year after year. The gift that keeps on giving!

📄 It's a tax credit, not a deduction — dollar for dollar off what you owe 🔄 Applies every year for the full life of your loan

Ask your TDHCA-approved lender if you qualify. 👇
