If you are eligible for the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, or the Move-Up Buyer Tax Credit? If so, time is ticking away… Properties have to by under contract BY April 30th, 2010. This means that they contract’s Binding Agreement date can’t be later than that. Offering on a property on April 30th could lead to missing the deadline.
