OK’s advance on home buyer tax credit” boston.com by Suzanne McDonald http://yopi.wordpress.com/2009/07/16/mass-ok%e2%80%99s-advance-on-home-buyer-tax-credit-boston-com/#comment-196 Suzanne McDonald Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:54:18 +0000 http://yopi.wordpress.com/?p=762#comment-196 Such a great program, free money, in essence. I remember when I was a first-time home buyer and how much there was to learn. From what I've gathered from agents, I think a lot of buyers may miss out. The timeline looks like this: Be closed by Nov. 30 - Takes average 60 days to close = An offer needs to be accepted by Sept. 30 That's assuming the banks will be able to process loans in 60 days. We just did a refi that took 4 months! I anticipate the banks will be overwhelmed and would encourage anyone interested in taking advantage of the credit to be looking for a new home NOW and have a contract within the next couple weeks. Hope that helps! Such a great program, free money, in essence. I remember when I was a first-time home buyer and how much there was to learn.

Be well prepared with your information and understand what job description you're applying for 2. Ask questions about the company 3. Don't be fake - just be yourself 4. Look pleasant - not overkill 5. Use lots of good examples in your answers 6.
