The National Association of Realtors recently released an in-depth reference guide to the economic recovery act of 2009. This guide provides information and guidelines about the first-time home buyer tax credit that is available in 2009. If you have been considering home ownership or purchased a home recently, you may find this guide helpful. If you have a friend or family member who may benefit from this information let me know. For specific questions about the tax implications of the credit, please consult a tax professional. If you or anyone you know is in need of real estate advice or assistance, I am just an e-mail away.
