Honestly, it just kind of sounds like they did you dirty. I would seriously reconsider making this kind of life altering decision for a company that isn't bargaining in good faith (10% lol) unless you love your job that much. No reason to upend your life and possessions for a job that might burn you going down this path.
Can this be done 100% remote from another company? (seeing its 3x now)
No reason you need to get another (worse) mortgage. If you're determined to see this through, then I'd get a rental while you assess the impact this has on your life and rent the house in MA. Besides, one in the hand better than two in the bush, and all that when it comes to finding new housing. Not only will you be paying double, but at your budget, I can almost guarantee it's going to be a huge step down from your current place in terms of location, schools, size, and probably more of a fixer upper.

Thanks for the advice. (speaking of doing me dirty, they laid me off once in the past but I returned a few years later) I do love my job but being an art director/graphic designer I can do my job remote, assuming I can find a remote position. The local area I'm in isn't great for my field.
I would definitely rent before buying to get a lay of the land/lifestyle.

Wild. For what it's worth, I had a friend who was going to sell his house here to move abroad and he had a sub-1k mortgage. He was going to list it. In the end, they rented it out still making plans to leave indefinitely and after a few months, realized the plan was to come back after a year to their old house. So, my advice is always to test out the waters before making a very expensive and permanent change. Glad you're open to renting instead.
