buying a house for mother

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:18:00 GMT

I'm looking to buy my mom a house. It would be my first home purchase so I qualify for the $8,000 tax credit. My 1st question is: if I do not live in the house, would I lose the chance to get the credit?
My 2nd question is: is there any thing to be concerned with if I do not live in the house (i.e. special mortgage, home insurance issues, etc)?

Why can't I get a consistent answer from anyone?

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:40:00 GMT

As I am looking to puchase my first home, there seems to be alot of people, (Real Estate Agents, Brokers, Loans Officers, Homeownership Counselors. etc. even the IRS website.) that give diffenent anwsers to the same questions that I ask.
Why? If they are there to help, and/ or sell a product to me, why do I get the run around?

Please help clarify some questions.
1) Tax Credit for first time homebuyers.?
IRS website says - Close by Dec 1, and file or amend. get 10% up to 8000.
not a deduction.
Homeownership counselor said- close by dec 31, and its a deduction, only to be used on d/p and closing
Real Estate Agent- didn't know, said would get back with me but after 60 days no return email or phone call, (I don't think he/she has earned my business)
Mortage Broker said- 'Can Not be used as a d/p or closing cost. have to file a differnet form in addition to the IRS Form F5405 ( which does not say how I am to use the credit)
-Which is it? I would like to believe the IRS, and HUD but neither are clear.

whew... and thanks,

Is this house overpriced?

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 20:37:00 GMT

Back in 2004 this house was purchased for $125,000. Now it's on the market for $175,000. It has had some renovations and cosmetic updates but far from total renovation. I have a feeling that it's overpriced considering the bust of the bubble and it's been on the market since September 2008. Thoughts?
