First-time home buyers who would otherwise qualify for the $8,000 tax credit, but don’t have the money for a down payment or closing fees, may now be able to get a loan to help cover those upfront costs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced on May 29 that the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) will allow state housing finance agencies to provide second mortgages

I came across this article in my daily Florida Real Estate briefings and it resonated with me because I am seeing this trend going on right here in Tallahassee as well. Many of the buyers that we come in contact with these days through our marketing are international buyers. Some of them have even told us that they feel like American real estate is "on sale" right now and they are looking to

One of the components of President Obama's Housing Plan is to create opportunities for people to be able to buy homes. Last year there was a First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit that was made available, but it had to be paid back. There just wasn't a lot of interest in getting a tax credit that had to be paid back. The NEW TAX CREDIT does not have to be paid back unless you sell the home within the

Have you ever heard of the USDA Rural Housing Financing? You're probably thinking this is for farm land, but it actually applies to single family homes in some of the outlying areas in Tallahassee and surrounding counties। We have been using this program for over 10 years and based on the number of properties that have sold under it, there is a very low number of foreclosures on this program।

Now I know that there are a lot of people sitting around right now, waiting for mortgage rates to fall before buying a new home or refinancing their current home. I’d like to offer a more prudent idea...Just get on with it already!None of us can predict what where mortgage rates will go. Recession, inflation, whatever — it’s a big mystery.

We often ask buyers about gift fund availability, but for some buyers it is uncomfortable to ask a family member for a gift. Maybe some would be comfortable asking for a legitimate loan! And if we continue to think creatively, perhaps the loan could be paid back with their $7500 tax credit as they get their income tax refunds. FHA allows family members (clearly defined as parent, grandparent,

The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 revised the National Housing Act to:The minimum cash investment in FHA purchase transactions will be 3.5% instead of 3%.
