Just wondering if there are actually any first time home buyer or home buyer in general grants available (in the United States). It seems that most of the information I can find online (posts as well as government websites) expired a few years ago and some as far back as 2001.
Are there grants available to help with the down payment, or just with buying a house in general? What about tax rebates? I know the big one already ended this past April, but are there plans for any new ones?
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.
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?
My boyfriend and I are buying a home together but he can not be on the mortgage because of his poor credit. I do not qualify for the 00 first time home buyer tax credit but my boyfriend does. Does he have to be on the mortgage in order to qualify for the tax credit or can I put him on the deed and will that qualify him for the tax credit?
The IRS has confirmed that if he is on the deed, lives in the house and can prove, that he has contributed towards the payment of the house, he does qualify for the credit. I am very comfortable having him on the deed but not on mortgage. Without getting into detail, his credit issues are understandable. I am awaiting to hear if the bank has any issues with him being on the deed. I will select the best answer then.
My grandmother lives in a Co-op in New York and I help her pay the maintenance, I used to live with her for several years until 2 years ago. Both of our names are on the co-op contract as share holder as well as on the Mortgage Interest Statement, Form 1098. I never took a mortgage or actually purchased any home. My question is, am I qualified for the 8000$ first time home buyer tax credit in case I buy an apartment in 2009?
I’m trying to buy a home in sullivan county new york. I feel like I am being given the run around. Everytime I find a house something changes, I looked at a house for 150k mortgage was supposed to be around 1300 a month, I decided that was a little high so I came down to 130k home mortgage still going to be 1200 a month, dropped down to 99k mortgage is going to be 1100 a month, closing costs are going to run 10k?
The bank offered me a 6% seller concession but say I am still going to need 6 to 7 thousand dollars? The real estate agent told me to look into grants for low income or first time home buyer. We are a family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) and income is about 37k, I however plan to go back to work once we move, right now we live in income based housing and it doesn’t pay for me to work, just more to pay to them. I am really at a loss here and need to know what’s going on, none of this makes sense to me and with things always changing, my interest rate has gone from 6 to 6.75%.

You’ve probably heard about the new-and-improved First-Time Homebuyer’s Credit. It’s a sweet deal that could put money in your pocket.
Even though it’s called the First-Time Homebuyers Credit, you’re eligible if you’ve owned a home before – just not in the past 3 years.
If you buy before April 30th 2010 you’re eligible, the IRS will cut you a check for up to 8,000. It’s tax free money and you don’t have to pay it back.
