A Handsome Soldier in Framingham - Massachusetts What is about a man in uniform?  I was out looking at properties for a client yesterday in Framingham when I came upon this striking statue of a civil war soldier.  Of course I had to take his photograph and I was completely curious about who he was.  Checking the base of the statue I found that there was no information on his identity at all - only that he had been donated to the town of Framingham.  Since this Civil War Soldier stands proudly in front of the Framingham Historical Society, I went inside the building to ask more about the mystery man.  I then met two very helpful ladies who explained to me that he is known as the "Unknown Civil War Soldier." Very intriguing...    Inside of that building is the Edgell Memorial Library whic... 06/05/2010

First time Home buyer in Framingham MA? Then I'm sure you have a lot of questions. What should I do first? What do I need to be prepared for? What questions should I ask my Realtor or Broker?

How much should you save for a down payment. The most important thing to consider before beginning a home search is how much do you have saved for a down payment? The minimum down payment required is currently 3.5% for FHA loans and 5% for conventional loans.
