Driving through old Searcy Arkansas, which is being restored and revived, I notice the tall old buildings with the little chimneys on the side. Nearly always the building is taller in the front and slants down toward the back and these little chimneys are at intervals.

chimneys in Searcy

This old building has been restored with an architectural firm and a law firm having done the makeover. The brick squares above the store fronts look almost like they could have been ventilation. Then we have the two rounded filled-in brick spots on the side. Explain away if you can.

The one on the right has been restored nicely and it also has the slanted roof and chimneys. The building that says auction has also, I think, now got a new front which I need to photograph.

Set your goals high, have faith you’ll reach them and then move on.

It's almost time again for my annual meeting with the broker(s). They want me to bring my goals for next year and my schedule among other things and that got me to thinking.

My goals this year was to survive and I did. I did so and achieved what goals I had set for myself and surpassed those so far it surprised me. So next year I'm setting a goal so high that when I make it (and I will make it) and surpass it, it will come as no surprise. Can you guess what book, audio and DVD I've been listening to time and time again? Anyway once I have set the goal I know it will take a lot of work to accomplish what I want to achieve.

Once I set the goal I have faith I will achieve the goal and I will not worry about it on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. I move on and go on about doing my job like I've been doing I'm just setting my goals a little higher.

If you're like me you have survived the last two years than you're a survivor. Get back into the game and set your goals higher than you ever have, have faith that you can achieve it release it and move on. The rest will take care of itself. You can't just set on your duff and not do anything. You may need to work harder or change your tactics. But in the final analysis the results are up to you. Remember "It's a great day to buy or sell a home."

$8,000 First-time Home Buyer Tax Credit Major Points:

The $8,000 tax credit is for first-time home buyers only.

  • For the tax credit program, the IRS defines a first-time home buyer as someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.
  • The tax credit does not have to be repaid.
  • The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home''s purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000.
  • The tax credit applies only to homes priced at $800,000 or less.
  • The tax credit now applies to sales occurring on or after January 1, 2009 and or before April 30, 2010. However, in cases where a binding sales contract is signed by April 30, 2010, a home purchase completed by June 30, 2010 will qualify.
  • For homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and on or before November 6, 2009, the income limits are $75,000 for single taxpayers and $150,000 for married couples filing jointly.
  • For homes purchased after November 6, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010, single taxpayers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000 qualify for the full tax credit.

The $6,500 Move-Up / Repeat Home Buyer Tax Credit Major Points:

  • To be eligible to claim the tax credit, buyers must have owned and lived in their previous home for five consecutive years out of the last eight years.
  • The tax credit does not have to be repaid.
  • The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home''s purchase price up to a maximum of $6,500.
  • The tax credit applies only to homes priced at $800,000 or less.
  • The credit is available for homes purchased after November 6, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010. However, in cases where a binding sales contract is signed by May 1, 2010, the home purchase qualifies provided it is completed prior to July 1, 2010.
  • Single taxpayers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000 qualify for the full tax credit.
