Learn How To Take Advantage Of The Tax Credit, Low Interest Rates & Low House Prices! 

We'd like to invite you to the FREE Savvy Home Buyer Workshop on Tuesday, January 12th from 6:30-8pm at the Fort Washington Hilton.

Whether you're thinking about buying a home right away or 6 months from now, you must attend this class!

This is a great opportunity to speak with a loan officer one-on-one, if you choose, and have your questions about qualifying for a home, getting a mortgage and all other questions about financing answered. Tax credits, grants and foreclosures will be discussed in addition to the *restrictions and details on the federal tax credit.

You will also learn what to do first and the step-by-step process of buying a home from the area's #1 Real Estate Team.

This no-pressure workshop is open to the public, and nothing will be sold at this event- the information is free! Registration is requested.

REGISTER ONLINE AT: www.SavvyHomeBuyerWorkshop.com! Directions will be sent upon registration.

Question: My wife and I are considering a move to Arizona. As we have lived in our current townhome for six years, I am sure we would be eligible for the homebuyer credit of $6,500. What I cannot find is any reference about if and when we must sell our current home. Can we buy a replacement home by the cutoff date of April 30, 2010, then sell our current residence later in the year? Or if we make the new house our principal residence, are we required to sell our current residence at all? --John

DEAR JOHN: According to the Internal Revenue Service, you do not have to sell your current house -- which must have been owned and used as a principal or primary residence for at least five consecutive years of the eight-year period ending on the date of purchase of a new home as a primary residence -- in order to take advantage of the new $6,500 tax credit for repeat homebuyers so long as the new house becomes your primary house.

There are, however, some additional limitations. While you do not have to purchase a home that is more expensive than your current home to qualify for the credit, if your new home costs more than $800,000, you are not eligible for that credit.

There are also income limitations. For single taxpayers, you cannot make more than $125,000 annually; for married folks, you cannot earn more than $225,000 if you file a joint tax return. There is a phase-out until your income reaches $145,000 for a single taxpayer or $245,000 for joint tax filers. This means that the credit is reduced proportionately until you reach the ceiling cap.

You cannot purchase the new home from family members, which includes parents, grandparents or children.

And finally, the purchase must take place by April 30, 2010. However, if you have entered into a binding contract before that date, you must settle (go to escrow) by June 30, 2010, or you will lose this credit.

This is my opinion; I suggest you consult your own tax advisors for specific advice.

Windshield Protector
Scraping a car windshield covered in ice every winter morning is no way to start the day. Next time you park the car outside, drape a tarp over the car. In the morning just pull the tarp off and shake it out. No more ice covered windows. Keep the tarp in the trunk and use it at work too. While everyone else is scraping windows, you'll be on your merry way home.

Frozen Doors
Is there anything more frustrating than being ready to go and not being able to open your car door? This handy winter car maintenance tip will keep you from being shut out of your own car. Spray car door rubber seal with vegetable oil spray or coat it with Vaseline. The oils keep water from dripping in and freezing the door shut.

Frozen Lock
Here's a handy winter car maintenance tip I've used many times. Use a torch or candle lighter to thaw the lock out. If you don't have one of these handy gadgets you can still thaw the lock with the key. Slide some winter gloves on to hold the key with. Heat up the key with a lighter or matches. Slide the key into the lock. Wait a couple seconds and turn the key. Repeat if needed.

Battery Removal
On winter nights when the thermometer takes a dip below zero, use this handy car maintenance tip. Simply remove the car battery at night. Set it on a newspaper in the mud room or kitchen. This winter car maintenance tip keeps the battery from freezing. In the morning, just hook it back up for an easy start. Now go give all your neighbors a jump.

If you forget to use the handy battery tip and your car needs a jump, be sure it's positioned for easy access. This winter car maintenance tip saves you a lot of maneuvering. Rather than pulling the car forward into the driveway or garage, back it up. Now your car is facing forward. Another car can pull right up and give you a jump. Use this tip year round.

Getting Stuck
Keep a bag of cat litter and a small shovel in the trunk of the car. This handy winter car maintenance tip gets you out of the ditch. Shovel snow away from the tires and sprinkle the kitty litter all around for traction. If you're out of kitty litter, use your car mats. Just place them next to the wheels to give tires something solid to grab onto.

Wiper Fluid
If you run out of wiper fluid in the winter, Pull over. Throw snow at the windshield and turn on the wipers. This handy winter car maintenance tip is good for a few miles of better visibility. Make your own streak free homemade wiper fluid for pennies. All it takes is ¾ gallon water, ¼ cup vinegar and ¼ cup rubbing alcohol.
