New Bill Signed Into Law Extends and Revises Homebuyer Tax Credit
In the previous edition of our newsletter, we outlined the features and benefits of the federal and state first-time homebuyer tax credit programs.
On November 6, 2009, President Obama signed a bill into law that extends the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit program, initially scheduled to end in November, to April 2010. The expanded tax credit is part of legislation that extends unemployment benefits by at least 14 weeks in 50 states.
Lisa LePorin (Formerly of RE-MAX Unlimited) is proof of the success a Charles Rutenberg Agent can achieve!
"As a Charles Rutenberg Agent, you earn 100% of the commission which also means that you have the flexibility to
'close the deal.' You are in control of how much you earn. The freedom to promote yourself and truly be your
'own
boss' is invaluable. The professional and friendly office staff are always accommodating. So what are you waiting
for? Stop working for your Broker and start working for yourself!"
