Get Your $8,000 HUD Tax Credit Now

Qualified, first-time home buyers using a Federal Housing Administration (FHA)-insured mortgage now can apply the $8,000 federal tax credit toward their down payments, the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently announced.

Currently, borrowers applying for an FHA-insured mortgage are required to issue minimum down payments of 3.5 percent. Buyers still must issue the mandatory 3.5 percent down payment, but the tax credit now can be used as an additional down payment, or for other closing costs, which can help lower principal balances and monthly payments.

Call or email us if you would like to schedule a mortgage financing consultation.
