Much has been said and changed as of late regarding the $8,000 tax credit and the ability to use it for down payment purposes. For some clarification and insight, Ryan Luechtefeld has written a very informative article outlining some options. To read click here Enjoy!

Stimulus money headed this way!
The Metro East will be receiving more money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The bulk of this new money will be used for water control and flood prevention. This leads us to what O'Fallon is considering regarding drainage improvements for storm water. Under the proposed plan residents will pay a flat fee bases on the size of the area they occupy. Not a bad idea at about $4.00 a month. The other side of this is that the retailers (auto dealers, box stores) could be hit very hard as they cover substantially more ground than your … (0 comments)
