Buyer Beware: When Considering a Short-Sale and your Tax Credit

Short Sale and Foreclosures in Denton County Time Sensitive

This is a topic I have been intending to write about for several weeks — But I have been so busy working on deals with my current clients I have not been able to throw out this bit of caution to some of my readers, and hopefully soon-to-be customers. My prediction after gauging the temperament, price ranges of starter homes, and the quest for a “good deal” by first-time homebuyers is that many hoping to take advantage of this short-sale market may

Monetizing the Tax Credit for a Down Payment: Clear as Mud

June 1, 2009

Ever since the May 12th announcement from HUD that the $8000 First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit was going to be able to be used as a down payment I believe there has been more misconceptions, ill conceived speculation, and just down-right misinformed banter from those in the real estate industry and future home buyers alike.

This is a FREE event to the public, and an opportunity for the kids to get pictures taken with the Easter Bunny, a H.V.F.D fire engine, and most likely a H.V.P.D. squad car if

Down Payment Required for FHA Mortgage in Lewisville, Flower Mound and all of Denton County

This is a question I have noticed entered on searches for some incoming traffic here at My Denton County Real Estate, and have been asked about more than once. I have not addressed this yet due to the fact there is nothing in place YET. But in an effort to appease those search efforts, and to win over those future home buyers who have not yet chosen a real estate agent. Here it is.. In early to mid May of 2009 the
