My best friend bought her home back in 2006 but this year on may of 2009;  she added me to the deed since I’ve been the one living in the house since 2006 and paying for the mortgage. I already filed my 2008 return but wondering if i need to do an amendment return to apply for the first time home buyer credit with form 5405.

PLEASE HELP !

 thanks !

My husband and I are ready to buy our first home. My grandma is selling her 3 bedroom house and it will be perfect for us but we are totally clueless!!

We’ve never bought a house and neither have our parents so we have no idea what we’re doing. Where should we go to see if we qualify for a loan?

Should our regular bank be able to help us or should we contact a bigger mortgage lender?

Thanks for the help!

My wife and I are getting divorced. We currently own a home and both our names are on the mortgage. If I were to buy my own house in my own name, do I qualify as a first time home buyer?
I live in PA

I am looking to purchase a bank owned home and I live in California. I have a credit score of 650 and I make about 40,000 a yr.

I am looking to purchase a home but I am not sure what kind of loan is available to me as a first time home buyer.

I have heard about a lot of loans available but I’m not sure which ones are the most suitable for me. I am also not sure which lender or mortgage company to go with?

Any ideas would help!
