One of the more common complaints I hear lately is ‘Hey, why is the new tax credit only for first-time home buyers? I should get a piece of the pie too,’ which I can’t disagree with. I personally would have liked to see the $8,000 tax credit opened up for all homes purchased for personal use this year, but for some reason the powers that be don’t seem to listen much to me 🙂
On the bright side though, there are other tax credits out there for the rest of us. Did you know there are tax credits being created for home owners who are making the move toward more environmentally-friendly homes? You can read more about these incentives here. It appears that going green may save you some green, so don’t give up on your stimulus just yet.
