Tax Credit

As I mentioned below, there are some incredible properties in the Columbia area the lend themselves to the first-time homebuyer. We love working with first-time buyers who are excited about taking that next step to invest in their future! Now, with the $8,000 tax credit, there is an even bigger reason to take that plunge. Check out this informative website to see if you qualify for the tax credit: http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/2009/faq.php . Why continue to pay rent when you can take advantage of this opportunity?!?!

The Lock Up

What a riot!! Deb was a good sport yesterday and went with the "deputy sheriff" to be locked up for Muscular Dystrophy. It was the least we could do to raise money for a good cause. Thank you to all of you who donated either to us or our fellow "convicts" to support us and bail us out. A special thanks to Connie Turgeon; talk about an inspiration...this lady wrote the book! Let us know if you have a cause we can help you raise money/walk/get locked up for. Giving back to our community is not only our pleasure, but our duty.

Jailbird...

Stay tuned as Debbie gets "locked up" tomorrow for MDA. Don't worry, I'll be there for photos and I'll share them with all of you. Also, there's still time to make a donation to get her out. Deb's site is https://www.joinmda.org/northeast2008/debbie.
