Inmates Received the $8,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit!

My client sent an article to me from USA TODAY that is very interesting information about the $8,000 first time buyer tax credit and it’s just really discerning and pathetic actually.

Good news for first time buyers that went into contract before April 30th and have not closed escrow yet. The Senate just passed a bill to extend the date to September 30th.

This client is just the sweetest, young first time buyer and in this price range, the competition is fierce with a lot of investors making all cash offers and lots of multiple offer situations. This entire transaction, I just felt his pain and felt so bad that he had to go through such an…See More
