Federal government sponsors a program for buyers (who haven't owned a
home in three years) that enables homeowners to receive a tax rebate up
to 1/5 of total interest paid (up to $167
per month) as long as they live in the home, for a total savings of $45,000!.
The
Federal Housing Administration has a program which allows buyers to get
approval for a home improvement loan before she(he) purchases a
home.
If
you can afford $700 a month in rent, you
may be able to purchase a $100,000 home for
