Happy Wednesday!
As some of you are probably aware, the 1st time homebuyers tax credit of $8,000 and the $6,500 move up tax credit for repeat homebuyers has expired as of April 30th, 2010…
However, for those enlisted and served overseas – the tax credit has been extended! This extension will be available for another year from April 30th, 2010 until April 30th, 2011. With the use of VA benefits that means an $8,000 tax credit and 100% financing!

Here’s a link regarding information on the tax credit:

And if you have an existing VA loan, you are able to take part in a streamline refinance which is a simple interest rate reduction loan… What that means – you can simply reduce your rate and in most cases avoid the qualification process of providing paystubs and ordering an appraisal etc..
If you have any questions regarding VA loans or have an existing VA loan and are looking to refinance, please feel free to give me a call and I’ll answer any questions you may have.
Have a great week!
