Honor Fallen Heroes in Salisbury NC this Memorial Day

Memorial Day is the time for Americans to remember and give thanks to the men and women who have died while serving our County in the military service. If you live in the Piedmont of North Carolina and are looking for a place to pay tribute this Memorial Day, you may want to visit the Salisbury National Cemetery. This facility serves veterans in a 23 county area of the Central Piedmont Region of North Carolina.

The historic section of Salisbury National Cemetery was established by Confederate authorities to serve as the burial ground for captured Union soldiers incarcerated at the prison in Salisbury, and is located at 202 Government Road in Salisbury.

The Salisbury National Cemetery Annex is located behind the William "Bill" Hefner VA Medical Center at 501 Statesville Boulevard in Salisbury.

Let's not forget to honor all who have served and are currently serving in our Nation's Military Services on this Memorial Day!

$8000 tax credit as downpayment... HUD says program NOT killed!

According to my lender sources and The Arizona Herald article "HUD says bridge-loan program hasn't been killed", HUD is still moving forward with a plan to let first-time homebuyers use the currently available tax credit of up to $8,000 as collateral for "bridge loans" to cover the down payment on FHA insured mortgages.

According to the article, HUD spokesperson Brian Sullivan stated that the program details haven't been finalized and would not say when the bridge-loan program would be initiated, or whether it would be substantially different from what originally was announced.

Let's all keep our fingers crossed that this program will be approved... it might just be the shot in the arm that the real estate market and our economy needs to recover!

For background information regarding this potential program, read my previous blog post: HUD withdraws option to use $8000 tax credit as down payment... at least for now
