Buyers - Time is ticking - reminder about the $8,000 tax credit

Brad & Angela Lawrence - Realtors/Owners - Greensboro - Winston Salem -High Point: Real Estate Agent in Greensboro, NC

Remember, the $8,000 tax credit expires Dec 1, 2009. If you have not closed on a home by then, the tax credit will not be available.

If your able to buy, get out there and start looking, interest rates are great. You need to have at least 600 credit score for FHA and VA loans. I have several great lenders that I recommend if you want to start the home lending process. There are several programs out there. You may be able to use the $8,000 tax credit as down payment if you do not have enough down payment upfront. Just email or call me for those lender contacts.

In order to get the tax credit, you or your spouse cannot have owned a home within the past 3 years of the closing on the home you purchase this year. You must live in the new home you purchase this year for at least 3 years or have to return the tax credit.

Mike Young: Real Estate Trainer in Sacramento, CA

I am seeing some wonderful opportunities out there for commercial properties. We are all hearing about how the commercial-industrial bubble is about to break or in fact has alreast started breaking. All the businesses that are going under are having or are about to have a devistating affect on the market... we will see some real interesting opportunities as this unfolds. Keep your eyes open but more importantly start thinking about how you can structure deals to take over some of these properties.

Winston Salem New Baseball Stadium will not be ready this season.

Brad & Angela Lawrence - Realtors/Owners - Greensboro - Winston Salem -High Point: Real Estate Agent in Greensboro, NC

Just read in the Winston Salem journal.

Disappointing news for baseball fans.............

Work on the stadium is at a standstill, stopped cold by ownership negotiations between team co-owners Billy Prim and Andrew "Flip" Filipowski.

Prim is trying to buy out Filipowski's share of the team. The two, business partners and brothers-in-law, have owned the team together since 2002. They have been negotiating the buyout since at least November.

Prim has said that construction will resume when the ownership negotiation is complete and that the negotiations were almost finished.

The team will play the rest of its home games at Wake Forest Baseball Park,where the Single-A Dash has been playing since its April home opener. The team, which was formerly known as the Winston-Salem Warthogs, is an affiliate of the Chicago White Sox.

Team officials had held out hope that the team would play part of the season at the new stadium, until this week committing only to games at Wake Forest's field through June.

Team officials sent a letter to people who had paid a deposit for season tickets to the new stadium with the following message: "We have now made the necessary decision to not try and play games in the new stadium in 2009 ... instead concentrating on opening in 2010 with no question or concern about the process."

People who have paid toward season tickets in the new stadium can roll those payments over to pay for tickets in the 2010 season. They can also apply the payments toward tickets to games at Wake Forest Baseball Park, formerly Ernie Shore Field.
