Lately there has been a whole lot of talk about the Governments part in the housing industry.  I get lots and lots of questions about "bailout money", the "hope" program, when is a good time to refinance, short sales, foreclosures and many, many more great questions.  The governement is doing things to first, help current home owners who need a little help (not a lot of help- if you need a lot of assistance they will NOT help you) and second, to stimulate the economy to get buyers out there and buying. 

For instance, the tax credit for homes purchased before December 2009 is a wonderful way of putting money back in the hands of the consumer.  This comes in so handy when people are looking for their first home, but the bathroom is a bit dated.  Here you go!  Turn your tax credit into home equity!!!

Anyway, I've decided to start compiling links to sites on the web with more information.  Please feel free to call me with any questions you may have.  If I don't have the answer, I will surely find the answer for you!
