The $8,000 Federal First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit has been getting a lot of buzz, but did you know that there are other great programs at the state and local levels available to home buyers? Program offerings range from zero-interest loans to grants to specialized mortgage programs.

-are purchasing your first home.
