$8,000 Tax Credit

Military service members, and their family members, are constantly bombarded with the IDEA that post housing is "FREE". It is NOT! When military service members, and their families, live in post housing; they are essentially renting and losing not only the money being spent on "FREE" housing but also the future equity that comes along with owning a home. Stop giving your money away!!! Put it into a home that will build YOU wealth. If you are due to be stationed at Ft. Benning for at least two years, you should strongly consider owning your own home. And better yet - if you are a 1st time home buyer, I will urge you to take advantage of the tax credit currently available. It's not every day that Uncle Sam offers an incentive quite so elaborate!


     

Information pertaining to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.


     

•Up to a $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers ONLY
•IRS defines a first-time home buyer as those who have not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the home purchase.
•Tax credit does NOT have to be repaid.
•Tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home’s purchase price, up to a maximum of $8,000.
•Credit is available for homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009.
•Single taxpayers, with incomes up to $75,000, and married couples, with incomes up to $150,000, qualify for the full tax credit.

Buying Power

Morning All,


     

 


     

Real estate purchasing can be very tricky. With one stroke of a pen, the whole deal can fall apart. Before negotiations even begin, mortgage pre-qualification must be established. Pre-qualification or, better yet, pre-approval gives a buyer an edge when negotiations do begin. It shows a seller that you have done your homework, and you’re ready to move on the purchase of the home seriously. Just think about it for a minute. You’re the seller and you've just received two offers. Both offers are exactly the same, but one offer has a pre-qualification letter attached. Which offer would you take seriously? A pre-qualification or pre-approval letter is an extremely powerful tool in your negotiation toolbox. Purchasing a property is serious business. A mortgage will have to be established anyway. Why not go ahead and get the qualifying done? I assure you, it will help in the long run!

It is a buyer's market!

I have been sending out post cards to apartment complexes for over a month now and have not gotten one single response! My message is short and sweet ( X property = Y amount per month, which less than rent payment ). The media is scaring people out of purchasing homes, and the information they are feeding the general public is simply not true. If anything, NOW is the time to purchase a new home. There are an abundance of properties on the market, builders have over built, and interest rates are still low! Huge deals are being made to move properties, and I can't overcome the media's hype of a bad market. It is a Great Market, for BUYERS!!!!
