What do you mean “Free Money”?
by Kelly Krauth
With all of the new stimulus package rebates, refunds and hoopla, it amazes me of how many people do not really know about the money that is now available to them through the First-Time Homebuyer’s Credit. I recently participated in a workshop and asked this very question to a group of people. 1 of 30 people raised their hand when I asked this very question. This made me realize that I needed to get this news out to my local community. Now before I lose you at “first time home buyer”, did you know that a first time home buyer also means an individual who has not owned a principal residence in the previous three years?
Let me say this simply for everyone to understand. This is a gift. No catch and no gimmick. Anyone who as ever wanted to buy a new home now has the opportunity to receive a gift from Uncle Sam up to $8,000 for buying a new home before November 30th 2009. »» What do you mean “Free Money”?
