I read that fha loans from 2008 can get a no interest loan up to $7500 that can be paid off over 15 years?

I read in a magazine that if you bought your first home under a FHA loan in the past year. You can receive up to $7500. does anyone know what the web site is?

    It's just a first time home buyer's tax credit that as you said has to be paid back. Try irs.gov

    Here are two sites that will give you the details...

    http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/glance.php

    http://turbotax.intuit.com/support/kb/tax-content/...

    This is a great idea for most folks.

    If you have purchased your first home between 4-9-08 and 7-1-09, you may eligible for this cash credit. It will depend on your income.

    Also, if you have owned a home in the past but have not owned one for at least 3 years, you will also qualify.

    Basically, if for instance, you purchased a home for $100,000, and your income/s fall within the guidelines, you can receive a max. credit of $7500. If you were already getting a refund on your 08 taxes of say 1000., then your actual refund will be $8500.

    If on the other hand, you owe 1000., say on your 08 taxes then you will get a $6500. refund.

    The $7500. credit will have to be paid back, interest free, over 15 years.

    You can get up to 10% credit of the purchase price of your home with the max being $7500.

    If your home cast $50,000., you would get a credit of $5000.

    It's not just FHA loans, it's any first-time homebuyer whose house is purchased between 08 April 2008 and 01 July 2009. It's a tax credit that is in effect a loan, because it does need to be paid back at the rate of $500 per year.

    Here's official information, straight from the IRS:

    You can read about this at irs.gov. It doesn't have to be an FHA loan, just a first home purchase.

    much in my life as i am a struggling mum with three kids and i have been going

    through really rough times in my life and my name is Helen

    Peters and in all this hard times, a worse incident occured in my life as i

    lost my job which was my only means of survival and things became really bad as

    i had bills to pay and my last son suffered a knee injury incurred when he fell

    from a tree house and the doctors informed me that he needed a surgical

    operation for his knee so he could walk again and at this point, life was

    useless to me as i have no family and no one to run to and each night, i will

    sit down and cry till the break of dun until one day, i read an advert on yahoo

    answers of man that stated that he could help people in my shoes with loans and

    in my desperate situation, i had no choice but i had to try and so shocking and

    suprising, it was like an impossibility becoming a reality, i got a loan of

    $75,000 USD even with my bad credit within 48 hours and my sons surgery was done

    and thank GOD it was successful and now, i am okay and living in comfort with my

    kids and i said to my self, i have never ever seen this kind of wonder in life

    and i decided i will tell it to the whole wild world and i need every one to

    thank GOD for Mr Patrick Harvey, the man GOD used to rescue me and my family

    even when all hope had been lost and gone and i will say to every one, no matter

    how dark and sinful the world is today, there are still GOD fearing and reliable

    people on earth and if you are in my former situation or require a loan

    legitimately, i will advice you contact this loan lender and you can reach him

    via patrickharvey12@yahoo.com and i want you all to pray for this man for me.
