Question: $8,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit?

My husband and I bought our first house in February 2009. The rebate was NOT our reason for buying our house. We were just ready to buy one. Anyway… I have some questions about it after a conversation with a fellow first time homebuyer.

One of my friends bought her house a few weeks after us. They did their taxes while their house was under contract and somehow, they got the $8,000 return on THIS year’s taxes. They turned around and used it as a downpayment on their house. She said I was supposed to do that as well and said I probably won’t get the return next year b/c I didn’t claim my house this year. However (and that’s a big however!), we did our taxes a few weeks BEFORE we bought our home. Our mortgage broker and the attorney at closing said that we are supposed to claim that we bought a house in 2009 NEXT year on our taxes.

So did I do it wrong? Did my friend commit fraud? What is going on?….
Friend closed on her house in early March 2009.

Answer: She was wrong as you are not entitled to it until the home is in your name in other words she filed fraudulent taxes to the US government. Yes you will get the money on next years taxes, or you can file a 1040X IRS form as a change or amendment to your taxes, and get it this year

The rent-to-own houses are really in great demand in Chicago. As US is deep down in recession, those who are paying monthly to keep their house intact, are scared of losing their money in expansion plans or buying a house. Analysts say that this is the most ideal time to buy a house especially in a rent-to-own basis so that you can later convert into a well-deserving home, sweet home! The deals which are available presently in the market are many but not genuine enough.

Even the monthly expenses of house maintenance are getting on the nerves of average office-goer. Hence, people who own their houses are more than happy to sell their houses. Sellers can even afford to give on a rent-to-own scheme in Chicago or even Illinois, so that at least, they get some cash-in-hand for a living!

Due to the increased cost-cutting of banks, it becomes almost impossible to get new home loans for the average US citizen! Even if the bank is ready to give you money for the same, you will have to hand around at least 20% down-payment in lieu of the qualification procedures. This has restricted most of the buyers from becoming house owners, and ultimately their dream homes. One can hence opt for rent to own Chicago homes, as there are many houses there up for the process.

The Process

Mostly rent-to-own agents are not paid by the buyers, but the sellers. We will charge $2000 from your down payment from the sellers when we put the buyers in the new Rent-to-Own house in Chicago area. Agents can negotiate good deals too that the money that the buyer pays to agents comes from extra discounts in the overall price! Negotiation of minimum down payment and maximum monthly credit can be arranged so that the buyer can build his or her own equity in the quickest time possible!

Wall St: new year, old fears

US stocks closed out 2009 with the best performance in six years, but monthly employment figures in the first week of the new year will keep investors focused on what is likely to be 2010’s reality—the economy’s struggle to recover.
