Has anyone ever asked you the question, "What Shade of GREEN are you?"" If they did, do you know what you would say? That all depends on what you are trying to achieve. Are you recycling, not littering, planting trees, driving an "smart car", or upgrading your home to be more energy efficient? If you are doing any of the above.....your are helping the environment! Go ahead, give yourself a pat on the back!
Did you know that according to the National Association of Home Builders, the market demand for green homes is continuously rising. In fact, they say by 2010, 40-50 percent of new homes are expected to be green. So get on the band wagon now and start sharing the benefits of going GREEN!
We have a program that will allow you to upgrade your current home whether you are adding solar panels, new flooring, new roof, or energy efficient appliances to name a few. It is the 203K program. It requires a 3% down payment and you get to choose up to 4 licensed contractors to do the repairs. You can finance up to $35,000 in repairs! What a great program to help you go GREEN and save you money from month to month. You will see the savings add up! You would be happy to know that there are several advantages to upgrading your home. You have tax advantages, monthly energy bill savings, and that warm fuzzy feeling knowing you are doing something good for the environment!
Some of the tax advantages for 2009 are a $500 Home Tax Credit for Energy Efficiency , a $2,000 Tax credit for Geothermal Energy, or another $2,000 Tax credit for installing Solar Panels. These tax credits are only good for 2009. If any of these were installed in 2008, the tax credits are much lower.
Going Green is a commitment I have made for my clients as well as in my personal life. I have found not only is this great for our communities, but it can also be cost effective if done the right way and with the right mortgage advisor. I am the right mortgage advisor that will provide you with the best service and expertise in Green Mortgages!
