Marketing the First Time Homebuyers' Tax Credit

Great Idea

"If you currently work in a high-end market whose price point, or salary range is too high to get the new $8,000 first time homebuyers' credit—consider a change in marketing tactic. Many of my wealthy clients are trying to help their children or their grandchildren buy their first home.  Talk to your high-end clients and tell them that now is the time to help family members buy a first home. Let them know about the opportunities out there for first-time buyers, such as the tax credit."

    Why rent, if you don’t have to?
    First-time homebuyer!
    Yes, buying a home means you have to grow-up, a little!
    The tax credit may go up; time is now to go “all-in”.
    Thinking about relocating, buying real estate does not obligate you to reside in the state.
    $$Financial Investment = First Property
    Find a Realtor you can trust! I guess you can say it’s like dating.
    Finally, EDUCATE YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THE WAY!

    Good thoughts...
    We are seeing a number of clients who borrow downpayment funds from Mom & Dad (or whomever) and pay it back after receiving the $8k. That is FREE MONEY!!!
