If you have bought, or are planning to buy a home, DO IT BEFORE July 1, 2009.

I have posted a previous post to this, but wanted to remind everyone in case you “forgot.” Click here to find out more.

Here’s an example of why you should take advantage of this :

Say you buy a home and take out a 30 Year Fixed Loan for $100k at 5.5%.

At year end, when you do your taxes, you’ll end up getting your tax credit of $7,500. Take that money and run… to a “non-failing” bank of course. Don’t touch it; just leave it in there. You with me so far?

Ok, so the payment on your home should be around $565. Well, take that $7,500 bucks that Uncle Sam just forked over, and use it to pay your mortgage! Easy enough, right???

Yes, you will actually have a 0% INTEREST HOME LOAN for approximately 13 months! Just like Robin Hood stole from the Rich to give to the poor, well you are essentially paying Uncle Sam back with his own money.

If you think about it, it’s an offer that you can’t refuse!

Dear Tommy,

I'm sending out emails to all my buyer prospects - hoping that this will be further incentive for people to get off the fence and start seriously looking.

Definately. I think if you can explain it to them this way, you will get more buyers to pull the trigger on the deal.

CONVERT, CONVERT, CONVERT!!!

There is a chance that those taking advantage of the tax credit will not have to pay it back. I am worried that giving away free money will only put our country in further debt. The real reason that buying is down is the incredibly strict lender requirements, money for improvements is not an incentive to buy as far as I've seen.
