First-Time Home Buyer Clinics
on October 4th, 2009 at 6:16 amThe federal $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit is responsible for many home sales in the Lowcountry. Now, a local program says it can add another $3,500 to a few fortunate seminar participants.
Qualified first-time homebuyers in Berkeley, Charleston or Dorchester counties could receive the money from the Homeownership Resource Center, a division of Family Services Inc.
The additional $3,500 will be given to one qualified person or family at each of the six First-Time Homebuyers Workshops hosted by the Homeownership Resource Center, a nonprofit, Housing and Urban Development-approved counseling agency.
The recipients must attend one of the free workshops and close on their first home by Nov. 30, the date the tax credit is set to expire.
Topics to be discussed include mortgage programs, buying HUD properties and foreclosures, home inspections, homeownership insurance, getting the most out of your real estate agents, legal fees, and current market conditions.
