$8,000 Tax Credit "Bridge Loan"

By
Real Estate Agent with Moon Real Estate, Utah

I have a first time home buyer.  They have their 3.5% down payment for FHA.  They want to be able to use the $8,000 tax credit to increase their down payment.  Their mortgage broker is not able to find a lender who will advance them the credit.

Has anyone had experiance with this that could give us some advice.

Can someone help me with this? I thought the $8,000 dollar tax credit was actually a percentage of the loan amount Up TO $8,000?

The only way we have gotten this done is if the buyer qualifies to get a 8K personal loan. They pay it off upon getting there tax credit. I don't know of any lenders advancing the credit.
