First-time homebuyers have been getting tax credits of up to $8,000 since January as part of the economic stimulus package enacted earlier this year. But with the program scheduled to expire at the end of November, the Senate voted Wednesday to extend and expand the tax credit to include many buyers who already own homes. The House is scheduled to vote on the bill Thursday.
Buyers who have owned their current homes at least five years would be eligible for tax credits of up to $6,500. First-time homebuyers — or anyone who hasn't owned a home in the last three years — would still get up to $8,000. To qualify, buyers in both groups have to sign a purchase agreement by April 30, 2010, and close by June 30.

Good to know
I look at this as second chances for prior home owners and first time home buyers. It also give investors the opportunity to allow buyers to realize their dreams of home ownership at reduced prices. We have to capitalize on this and at the same time increase our net worth. Let look at it this way for the new comers. What will it take for you to get that first deal before this tax credit goes away forever? Dean, thanks for sharing with us, this is wonderful news. God Bless.

Obama Signs Home Buyer Tax Credit Extension

This is good!
This is good news. The original credit was truly an asset to many investors who flipped properties during the stimulus. This will also assist investors currently purchasing rehabs as long as they can flip them by April. So everyone better get busy!!
