I know that sounds silly but every year, in Jan. I get a statement from the mortgage telling me what was paid out for insurance and taxes. If there's a shortage or overage. The statement breaks it down, by month what I paid in and what they paid out. If your insurance or taxes went up or they didn't collect enough the year before, that might account for the drastic increase. In Texas, a couple of years ago, some people's insurance went from $1000 per year to over $4000 per year. Most of it was from those toxic mold claims. Try and get an itemized statement. It also might have something to do with the fact that you have 4 families living there, in apts. They might consider it a commercial property.

fortunatly I do not have a low IQ, and facts and figures do not apply when it was a FIXED RATE of 7.25 so please if you are amazingly brilliant explain how a fixed rate would go up in Massachusetts??? I'm also curious as to why my IQ would apply in the first place as well, do you work for them? "Please note it went up 597.00 in one month" If you could explain it would be greatly appreciated...

I have no idea what kind of mortgage you have, but if you had an interest only, variable rate mortgage it can go up a lot. And when I lived in MA, I always thought that the average IQ dropped about 40 points outside of 495, this pretty much confirms that.
