You apply for the MCC at the same time you make a formal application for a mortgage through an approved lender. Lenders vary in their requirements for mortgage loan application, but generally you will have made a purchase offer on a specific residential property and will be ready to supply credit information, employment data, and other information to the lender. There will be a non-refundable fee to make application for an MCC. Please follow the below easy steps to get you closer to homeownership.
