$8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit ends…

Ok, don’t panic, it doesn’t end until December 1st, 2009.  But don’t get complacent, either…  That is sooner than you think.

If you aren’t familiar with the FTHBTC (First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit), here is a little reading.  The first thing to know is that not owning a home for the last 36 months qualifies one as a First Time Home Buyer for this tax credit…

So, back to the timeline…

Loans are taking a little longer to close lately…  The end of November is going to be VERY busy with closing attorneys…  The good deals aren’t on every corner…

So, getting a home under contract 45-60 days out from the December 1st date would be a really good idea.  That means that you really want to have the right house picked out by September.  If there is a failure on a deal… or a short sale… it could add a month or two to the process.

Bottom line…

Don’t let the time get away.  If you qualify, don’t leave $8,000 sitting on the table.  And finally, don’t think that looking for a house after Halloween gives you a great chance at getting closed by December 1st…

FaceBook OVERLOAD…

There are big things stirring… and they are stirring in the FaceBook world.

A couple of weeks ago, while releasing the ability for people to have custom URLs on FaceBook (mine is FaceBook.com/LaneTheGarageGuy… someone beat me to LaneBailey) they also released custom URLs for Fan Pages.  But, the only fan pages eligible were those that had over 1000 fans.  I wasn’t anywhere near close…

This past weekend, FaceBook released custom URLs for Fan Pages with 100 or more fans.  All of my real estate friends, and some of my other business friends were scrambling to get fans in order to meet the 100 fan level.  And so was I.

Originally there wasn’t going to be a floor on the number of fans, then it was 25, then 100… so there were a lot of us that were left to scramble.

I’m still working towards 100 fans for the two pages I have, LaneBailey and LilburnDwellings.  Feel free to drop by and become a fan if you are a member of FaceBook… and if you aren’t, you should be…

I am quite literally down to a handful of fans before I can get custom URLs for these pages.  It is nerve wracking…

Aside from the business, it is all in good fun.  The pages are light and fun, as well as entertaining and loaded with useful information (at least I hope so).  Stop by, become a fan, post up your comments and feedback.  I’d love to hear from you.

So, it is back to posting regularly.  There are a lot of things happening in the real estate world and the car world.

We’ll be back on them every day.

Thank you for your patience.
