According to an AP report today, major banks and government-controlled finance companies will place a moratorium on foreclosures until March 6 to give the Obama administration time to develop a plan for those struggling with foreclosure.

real estate: The $7500 tax credit for 1st time homebuyers> - 02/12/09 10:26 PM
Understanding the 2008 Housing & Recovery Act a.k.a. $7500 tax credit

1.  The time is right to finally experience the American dream of home ownership. On July 30, 2008, President Bush signed a major housing bill (H.R. 3221) into law. As part of the housing bill, Congress has created a new, temporary tax credit to provide an incentive for first-time homebuyers.

real estate: More money for the Tax Credit for homebuyers! $8000 NOW! - 02/12/09 09:21 PM
Well according to The Wallstreet Journal the latest version of the stimulus bill says that: The $15,000 homebuyer tax credit didn't survive the final negotiations on the stimulus bill. Instead, Congress slightly increased to $8,000 an existing $7,500 credit for first-time homebuyers and eliminated repayment provisions.Congressional negotiators said that $8,000 number isn't yet finalized.
The new credit is retroactive to Dec. 31, 2008, which means that anyone who buys a house this year, through August, won't have to repay it. First time buyers who used the credit in 2008 still have to pay it back over a 15-year period.

real estate: Volunteering is great for NETWORKING - 02/10/09 02:06 PM
I went to Georgia Public Broadcasting to help with their annual winter radio campaign drive.  It was a blast and also I was able to meet a ton of professionals throughout Atlanta.  Volunteering is an important part of being successful.  When you are able to depart from yourself and help others you are being of maximum service to another human being.  In my eyes that is what life is truly about being apart of something larger than yourself and touching someone else's life in a positive way.  And in addition you never know who you may be speaking with. 
If anyone wants … (8 comments)
