$8,000 tax credit for first time homebuyers a success so far
Posted on April 29, 2009 at 2:00 am$8,000 tax credit for first time homebuyers a success so far
While the final numbers may not be available for a few weeks or even months, a preliminary report released earlier this month by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration indicates that the recently introduced $8,000 tax credit for first time homebuyers is working better than expected. In fact, as of either March 6 or March [...]
While the final numbers may not be available for a few weeks or even months, a preliminary report released earlier this month by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration indicates that the recently introduced $8,000 tax credit for first time homebuyers is working better than expected.
In fact, as of either March 6 or March 7, 2009, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) it appears that about 1.4 million taxpayers intend to claim the the tax credit on their 2008 tax returns. And as Inman News points, out that’s very close to meeting or exceeding “the 2 million target set by lawmakers before it sunsets Nov. 30, 2009.”
Of course, taxpayers had until April 15, 2009, to claim the credit on their returns, which means that the estimated 1.4 million figure will likely increase. What’s more, buyers who buy between then and Dec. 1, 2009, can also pocket the $8,000 on their 2009 tax returns.
But there does appear to be a little confusion: Of the 567,685 households that claimed the tax credit, 38,158 weren’t eligible because they may have been homeowners in the last three years.
So be sure you know the requirements before filling out form number 5405!
For those who may be a little late to the party let’s do a quick reset of the $8,000 tax credit, which was part of the $789 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 — a blockbuster stimulus initiative that is expected to boost employment and jumpstart the national economy.
The new bill provides a first-time home buyer with an $8,000 maximum tax credit (or 10 percent of the purchase price) on a purchase made before Dec. 1, 2009. It can be claimed on a 2008 (due this April) or 2009 (due next April) federal tax return and does not need to be repaid if the person resides in the property for more than three years.
In addition, first-time homebuyers who bought in 2008 (April 8 through Dec. 31) have been rolled into the equation. However, the maximum credit is $7,500 and must be paid back over a 15-year period.
For more on the $8,000 home buyer tax credit click here. Be sure to contact your personal accountant or the individual who files your taxes for additional information on how to take advantage of this limited-time money-saving offer.
And, of course, if you intend to strike while the iron is hot and purchase a home in the next few months while the prices and interest rates are at all-time lows, be sure to check out the best deals in your area on Foreclosure.com RIGHT HERE.
We can help you save so much more on top of the $8,000!

Avoid Top 10 Mistakes Made By Real Estate Investors
Posted on April 28, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Real estate investment is perhaps one of the most lucrative forms of investment today. But it is also equally risk bound especially when one is not well versed with the trends and nuances of the real estate market. So if you are contemplating on investing in real estate, it is best to avoid costly mistakes in real estate investment especially when you invest your hard earned money into it. Knowing the most common mistakes made by real estate investors helps one steer away from making such mistakes in the future and ensures good return on investment.
Here are the top ten mistakes made by real estate investors, according to bankrate.com. Bankrate has put together the top ten mistakes after speaking to established, full-time real estate investors and other professionals involved in real estate investment such as bankers. Read on to know them and avoid them.
1. Not planning up ahead. Lack of a proper plan is the biggest mistake made by novice investors. Finding a house after forming a proper investment strategy is the right way instead of looking for a house to fit the plan. Many make the mistake of buying a house because it seems to be a good deal and then trying to see how they can fit it into their plan. Instead of buying a house and thinking one can plan in due course, investors should rather concentrate on the numbers and try to make offers on multiple properties. This will ensure a good property that not only matches their investment model but also works out well with the numbers they had planned for.
2. To believe you can make money quickly. The second major mistake that real estate investors make is to think it is very easy to get rich in real estate. This is only a myth and the reality is that investing in real estate is a long term project.
3. Doing it single-handedly. For becoming a successful real estate investor one needs to build a team of professionals who would assist the investor in his deals. This would ideally include a real estate agent, an appraiser, a home inspector, a closing attorney and a lender.
4. Making excess payment. One another reason that investors in real estate goof up in their investment is by paying too much for the properties they buy. Paying too much and locking up all the funds in the erred property deal will leave you with no money to redeem yourself.
5. Leaving out the groundwork. Not doing your homework could be a costly mistake if you were a real estate investor. Every field of business needs sufficient amount of homework to be done, and real estate investment is no exception. Learn the fundamentals and then venture into investing in properties.
6. Throwing caution to the winds. Investors have to exercise a certain degree of caution and take earnest efforts while making a deal. New investors often fail in this regard and sign a deal without doing adequate research on the property.
7. Miscalculating money flow. Investors whose strategy is to buy, hold and rent out properties need to ensure sufficient cash flow for maintenance. Property managers could be expensive and the owner has to incur more expenses such as mortgage, taxes, insurance, advertising costs etc. Investors have to allocate their budget such that all these expenses are taken care of, or end up having their asset turn into a liability.
8. Lowering the volume. A larger volume of deals or transactions helps in increasing the profits by reducing the impacts of marginal deals.
9. Getting trapped in your own deal. Having more number of options at hand for the property you buy is a wise strategy. This helps one to be prepared for fluctuations in the real estate market. Plans to rent out the house could go awry when the rental market slumps. Having alternative plans helps you cut down losses and tackle unexpected situations.
10. Making incorrect estimates. People who plan to rehab their house need to check if they will still reap the benefits at double the time that they had estimated. This ensures they do not miscalculate and lose money on the deal.

“We are at a time where people can really take advantage of this…. The main message we want to send today is there are 7 to 9 million people across the country who right now could be taking advantage of lower mortgage rates. That is money in their pocket.”
– President Barack Obama is urging homeowners to take advantage of super low mortgage interest rates through the recently introduced Making Home Affordable program to possibly ease their financial burdens. He made the remarks in the White House’s Roosevelt Room alongside several other key individuals who are charged with getting the housing market back on track, which includes ensuring that people are able to afford their homes and remain in them to avoid more foreclosure situations. According to an Associated Press report, nearly 200,000 homeowners contacted Bank of America alone “to find out if they are eligible to refinance under the Obama administration’s new guidelines.” To learn more about Making Home Affordable and determine whether or not you can refinance your home mortgage click here.
