Palm Coast 1st time home buyers get more help

First-time homebuyers will soon have another option if they want to use their $8,000 tax credit toward a downpayment. According to HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, FHA-approved lenders will soon be able to issue a short-term bridge loan equal to the tax credit. Buyers will then pay back the bridge loan after receiving their tax refund. Donovan hopes to have the details available within a few days. Source: http://Realtor.org
