Do you have questions about the Tax Credit? I did too.

Many buyers clients were asking me. Here is the first answer: You have to purchase and close on a home by December 1, 2009!! Call me and let's look now if you read this information and think you qualify Sandy (704) 746-7513!

Here below is the information and some handy links I have been sending out to clients by email.lake norman tax creditIn a nutshell, you have to buy your first home, it has to be owned for 3 years or you will owe the money back to the IRS, and you cannot have the money until after you close (when you use the form to claim it). So, no, you cannot use it for a down payment.
