Time Is Running Out to Take Advantage of $8000 First-Time Homebuyers Tax Credit – First-Time Homebuyers Workshop, August 29, 2009
CHARLESTON, SC (August 3, 2009)— Due to an overwhelming response to its first workshop held in May 2009, The Homeownership Resource Center, a division of Family Services will present a First-Time Homebuyer Workshop on Saturday, August 29, from 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Wachovia Auditorium located at the College of Charleston.
The Homeownership Resource Center, a counseling agency approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, will provide experienced and knowledgeable counselors who will assist workshop attendees with key steps of the home buying process. Homebuyers that qualify and purchase a home before December 1, 2009, could receive up to the full $8,000 tax credit, which they don’t have to repay. The only repayment requirement is if the homeowner sells the home within three years after the purchase. In addition, the all time low interest rates for qualified buyers can make home ownership cost lower than an average rent in our area.
To sign up for the workshop, visit www.fsisc.org or call 843-735-7862. This free class includes lunch and is open to the public. The College of Charleston’s Wachovia Auditorium in the Beatty Center is located at 5 Liberty St., Charleston.
