8 Comments on FHA To Permit $8,000 Tax Credit As Downpayment
What great news this is!
This is super great news.
This could be a great boost to our industry. Now if they would expand it to include regular conventional loans!
Now that sounds like an interesting concept. I wonder how that will work. I guess we'll have to stay tuned!

Sounds like it could be the jumpstart we might need. Thanks for sharing.
This is an outstanding developement that could really make a difference in our market! Thanks for the news
What he said was they are exploring ways to monetize the credit so borrowers may use the money for down-payment or closing cost assistance. I don't recall him saying they were 'tweaking' the program and did not hear him categorically state that it would become possible - only that they were trying to find a way to do that. While it would make the program even better than it already is, it would also involve a significant shift to up-front costs to the government and that is by no means a given at this time. I may have mis-heard his remarks but in consulting my rather copious notes (about which I will post when time permits) I didn't hear him say it's a done deal yet.
By the way, his use of the term 'bridge loan' also came under some question later with some asking if he understood the definition of a bridge loan (not to his face, of course).
Mirela, and today they say it's NOT happening. I wish they could figure out what they're doing up there!
