Details on the FHA Tax Credit for Home Buyers

Hi All,
There has been a lot of buzz about the FHA Tax Credit Program, and for those who are not too aware of it, we wanted to list a few key points of this excellent program here:

1. Up to an $8,000 Tax Credit is available for First-time home buyers (For a newly built home or a resold home). This is confined to sales occurring on or after January 1, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010.
2. Up to an $6,500 Tax Credit is available for "move-up" (repeat home buyers or existing home owners), who purchase a Principal Residence (Not an investment property - but an Owner-Occupied Principal Property) between November 6, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010.

This is a very basic breakdown, but there are certain specific income limits, so be sure to check the FHA Site (http://federalhousingtaxcredit.com).

As a side note, we have been busy working on our next venture, which will be announced soon, which will extend a hand to homeowners in trouble.
Further, we have been further updating our Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace Pages and adding numerous followers and friends...which means more traffic to your Ads !

Have a Great Week, and Happy "Rent to Owning" !!

Return of the House Flippers, Secrets of Rent to Own, and more

Hi All,
Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. For those of you in the Northeast, the weather was picture perfect, and might I add....finally !
OK, down to business: We have revamped a few of the E-Books ("Secrets of Rent to Own" and "Fighting Foreclosure"), and next, we will be focusing on the Real Estate Investors guide, "Will it Work in My Town?".

I came across an interesting story that I wanted to share, titles, "Return of the House Flippers", in Yahoo Finance (Located here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/bw/20100401/bs_bw/1015b4173024165587). It is quite an interesting article for those of you geared towards the investing side of Real Estate. Just to summarize, the article touches on the spark in foreclosure auctions, as well as the Federal Approvals that are involved in that sector. A very interesting, informative, and a very positive read. Be sure to check it out.

Have a great week, and Happy Rent-to-Owning !

Major Housing Confidence Index drops...

Per the Long Island Business News:
"The National Association of Home Builders said Monday its housing market index, which tracks industry confidence, slipped this month by two points to 15, back to its January level"

This is the index that homebuilders use to show market confidence.

The good news is that traditionally, we are entering one of the busiest times for this industry, and the next 3-6 months will truly paint a better picture for us to see.

Happy Rent to Owning!

Important Economic News coming out Tuesday 3/16

Good Afternoon,
Just to give everyone a heads up, New Residential Construction numbers are being released on Tuesday 3/16. This specific index takes into account Building Permits, Housing Starts, and Housing Completions, so basically, it's a "Biggie".

What does this mean for everyone? This will show us the relative strength of the housing market. If you are looking to buy or sell a Rent to Own Home, it's still a good time, and is always a good time, since it will always be an attractive option when a creative real estate solution is needed.

We have been developing a lot of cool new features for the website, so please stay tuned for updates.

Have a great day, and Happy Rent-to-Owning

Friday, Indeed.....

Hi All,
We have made it through another week (for those of you who don't work an 8-day week!). So congrats to everyone.
This week, we have made some very solid strides in syndicating our content (pushing it out) to other Real Estate websites, and we have seen a strong spike in Ad responses, which is telling us that it is working. When visitors are responding to your Rent to Own Ads, it makes us very, very happy.
OK, now some people have said we are a little wordy on our home page, and we have listened to you. After a number of us reviewed the page, we just cannot truncate the top section any more than we already have. There are a number of initial points that needed to be made, and the page addresses each point as concisely as possible. However, we will take a periodic look at it and see if we can condense it any more going forward.

We hope everyone has a fantastic, safe and enjoyable weekend.

Happy Rent-to-Owning !
