FREE MONEY for 1st Time Home Buyers
Monday, April 13, 2009 at 11:44PM Free Money - Is there really such a thing? Well the answer is YES! - if you are a 1st time home owner or have not owned in 3 years.
I hear you - your thinking well it's not free if you have to do something to get it right? Technically your right of course but let's look at this in real life terms.
OK...so you do have to have a FICO score above 640 ...and you do have to be able to afford the monthly payments ...and of course not everyone can, however for those that can, a separate program sponsored by Idaho Housing allows you to borrow $7,000. of your next year $8,000 1st Time Buyer Tax Refund and use the funds for down payment and closing costs today!
Now let's look at an example: Lets say you qualify and you are find a nice home for $150,000. FHA lets you have a loan for 96.5% of the sales price so you will need 3.5% down payment or $5,250 Down and closing costs of about $2,500. Under normal conditions, this would require you to have about $7,750 cash at closing. With the $7,000 loan against your $8,000 Tax credit you are about $750 short of enough to close....but wait these are not normal times are they?
If we get the seller to pay your closing costs of $2,500. (not unusual in this market) you will only have to come to closing with the $5,250 leaving you about $2,600 left after you receive your Tax Refund in 2010 and pay off your Down payment loan.
Bottom Line:You get the house for no money out of pocket and collect $2,600 for passing GO...and have ownership of a home that now allows you to claim a further Tax Deduction for interest paid on your home purchase for the next 30 years.
So tell me is there such a thing as FREEMONEY or not?
Now lets talk about Really Free Money!
If you are a Veteran you can get 100% financing - again have the seller pay your closing costs and get $8000 Tax refund in 2010. - Free probably doesn't get any more Free than this!
**This amazing program currently ends in December of this year.....so now you know ...help me get the word out to your friends - family - acquaintances - anyone you might know that can take advantage of this program. You will help them - you will help the economy - If you have been looking for a way to do your part to move America forward, this is as good a chance as were going to get!
God Bless ,and Thank you in advance for your help - We all appreciate your efforts!
