Does anybody have any idea if the tax credit is going to be allowed as down payments?  It was then it wasn't.  Now it is again but not until they teak it a little and try to refine the requirements.  So..... is it?

Seriously, if anybody knows more about this I would love to hear it.  From my understanding there are several states that had programs in place already that facilitated this move and are allowed to use the tax credit right now.  If you are in one of those states let us hear from you and how it is working (or is it?)

I know there are pros and cons to this program, of which I am not going to currently weigh in on, but I would like to know if this is a viable option that is available to my buyers.

Thanks

Todd, I think the government is going to announce a workable solution within the next few weeks. They have a bit of egg on their faces from the premature announcement, and if nothing else, need to make it work to avoid the embarrassment they created. With some states already having programs in place, I think we'll see something universal very soon. I think the only question is when, not if.

I am still embarrased, and think I have proof of my stupidity still flittering around the bloggesphere.

I will be a little slower to clear leather if this is ever declared a go again.

I hope it is sooner, rather than later!  It would be a big boost to business, since I enjoy working with first time buyers.
