$8,000 FIRST TIME BUYER TAX CREDIT - CHECK RECEIVED !!!!

Renee Eubanks (Coldwell Banker ) — Sun, 31 May 2009 09:40:07 -0700

Here is the Proof! Do you know someone or would you like to have this come in your mailbox? Call me and we will see if this would apply.

Via Sheldon Neal -- That British Agent -- (Bergen County, NJ - RE/MAX Real Estate Limited):

This is an actual check from one of my First Time Buyers who bought a home last month, and immediately filed his 2008 tax return - which he had already filed an extension for - and this week received the above check !

... before his home purchase, his return was going to give him a refund of approximately $4,000 !!!! ... as you can see, he qualified for the tax credit, and received $8,000 additional dollars from the government for buying his home.

@@@ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION - BE SURE TO CONSULT YOUR ACCOUNTANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN RECEIVE THIS YOURSELF @@@

Per the IRS.gov website, you may qualify to receive this credit if you meet the following qualifications:

"... qualifying taxpayers who buy a home before Dec. 1, 2009, can claim the credit on either their 2008 or 2009 tax returns. They do not have to repay the credit, provided the home remains their main home for 36 months after the purchase date. They can claim 10 percent of the purchase price up to $8,000, or $4,000 for married individuals filing separately.

The amount of the credit begins to phase out for taxpayers whose adjusted gross income is more than $75,000, or $150,000 for joint filers.

For purposes of the credit, you are considered to be a first-time homebuyer if you, and your spouse if you are married, did not own any other main home during the three-year period ending on the date of purchase."

The credit itself:

Applies to purchases that close after April 8, 2008, and before Dec. 1, 2009.

Applies only to homes used as a taxpayer's principal residence.

Reduces a taxpayer's tax bill or increases his or her refund, dollar for dollar.

Is fully refundable, meaning the credit will be paid out to eligible taxpayers, even if they owe no tax or the credit is more than the tax owed.

So if you were considering buying a home this year - be sure to talk to your accountant as you may also qualify to get $8,000 extra dollars for buying your first home !

ALSO: Be sure to check out a post from respected Loan Officer Jeff Belonger explaining how you may be able to receive an 'up front loan' for this credit to use towards closing costs or additional downpayment over your mandatory 3.5% payment on your FHA loan !

@@@PLEASE NOTE: ALL INFORMATION ABOVE DEEMED RELIABLE PER THE IRS.GOV WEBSITE, HOWEVER IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY POINT ON ANY DAY ! - CONSULT YOUR TAX ACCOUNTANT BEFORE EXPECTING ANY PORTION OF THIS CREDIT.

@@@@ UPDATED: BELOW IS THE FORM NEEDED TO FILE FOR THIS CREDIT IF YOU QUALIFY - YOUR ACCOUNTANT SHOULD HAVE IT AND WALK YOU THOUGH IT ! GOOD LUCK !

5 things I am going to change.

Renee Eubanks (Coldwell Banker ) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:27:46 -0800

I have written down five things I want to change and as I wrote these down many more came to mind. I kept writing them down. It is hard prioritizing the list. Here is my top 5 changes.

1. Be prepared to go on an appointment at a minutes notice. I work out of my home, easy to be in play clothes instead of in work attire.

2. Join a group where I can make friends and make a difference.

3. Remove clutter from my home and office. Organize my Trunk.

4. Move out of my comfort zone. Call Expired listings and ask for the appointment. Do what I need to do to be prepared for the appointment. CMA, Listing aggreement, Sign, Presentation.

5. Make my list and follow it. I tend to write down what I want to accomplish for the day and not follow threw.

Here's my list and am ready to change!

I would be interested in joining your 100 day program. I'm surprised you haven't had any other takers.

Via Paul Hockaday:

I began doing real estate just over 2 years ago and I've been told that I got in at the wrong time. I'm tired of all the negativity on the news in regards to the economic status of the country and the declining housing market. Personally, I'm ready to change my current financial situation. I've created a group where we can coach each other. What we are doing is setting a goal of "100 Days to Change". I've got the support of other real estate professionals who want CHANGE too. What we are going to do are various proactive activities which will propel our business. Every day I will reach out to individuals in my group and provide direction. By working as a group I believe that we can provide support to each other and coach ourselves to CHANGE. If you would like to be a part of this group then please subscribe to this blog and we will begin our 100 Days.

There are no obligations to participate in this group. It is being offered as FREE. All you have to do is want to change your current financial situation, desire an increase in your real estate business and committ to yourself.

Here it is the year is almost over, again. I've been working on my website for many a day and night. The problem i'm having is figuring out how to do the keywords. My site is like page 39 on Google. Isn't there a program that you put your web address in and out plops the keywords? Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Renee
