Even if you dno't make any money on the resell of your house - you saved probably thousands of dollars in rent you would have just flushed down the toilet. Make sense? Do it! The $8,000 makes it totally worth it I think.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11179240927693522920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498736586778446719.post-2768413066245172392009-04-21T09:23:00.000-04:002009-04-21T09:23:00.000-04:00Thanks Chase.

First time home buyers who purchased their home in 2008 are eligible for an $8,000 tax credit that they have to repay, but if you purchase a home this year before Dec. 1, you don't have to repay it as long as you stay in the home for three years ( see http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=206293,00.html). I'll have to look into the 15 year loan. I haven't thought of that at all. Thanks everyone for thanks everyone for the advice.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683664854583613400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498736586778446719.post-64097215999326442852009-04-20T15:40:00.000-04:002009-04-20T15:40:00.000-04:00from what I understand, the 8000 rebate isn't much...from what I understand, the 8000 rebate isn't much of a rebate. It's actually a loan. You have to pay it back over the next five years of tax returns, or something like that. You should look it up. If you do decide to buy a home I'd go with a 15 year loan you begin to pay principal in much greater amounts and much faster. and the payments aren't much more. Plus, lower rate.Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09431142695241615282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498736586778446719.post-14701467118541800392009-04-19T22:43:00.000-04:002009-04-19T22:43:00.000-04:00I'm with Natalie. Go for it! You will LOVE it. ...I'm with Natalie. Go for it! You will LOVE it. Here is my best house-buying advice:<br /><br />1. Stay in our ward. :)<br /><br />2. Look at the good school districts and then buy in those neighborhoods. Even though your boys aren't in school yet, houses that are districted to good schools generally sell more easily.<br /><br />3. Look at a bunch of houses in your price range and find one that "feels right." That's what happened with both of the houses that we've bought. I thought, "I could totally see us living here."<br /><br />Good luck! It's such a fun, stressful thing.andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938093415380690845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498736586778446719.post-21862010980946436932009-04-18T10:55:00.000-04:002009-04-18T10:55:00.000-04:00I say go for it!

And with it being a buyers market you could easily get that house in the picture.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186885939563344088noreply@blogger.com
