"Remember also that the 1st time buyers credit of $7,500 is no longer having to be paid back! "

And it's been increased to up to $8,000.

Every $500 helps...

Mai,

You would qualify as a 1st time buyer if you had no interest in any property for the last 3 years.

I know a bank in Arizona that will soon have an TURE FHA 100% loan available this month that doesn't require seller contributions.

Remember also that the 1st time buyers credit of $7,500 is no longer having to be paid back!

Work with an experienced realtor who know the business when you are ready.

Mai -

Since you were not on the title, I'm pretty certain you would qualify as a first time home buyer. I assume you're asking in regard to the new $8000 first time buyer tax credit. If that's the case, I highly recommend consulting with a tax professional to make sure.

FIRST ANSWER

GREAT QUESTION:

Contact a mortgage broker who can review in detail your information. Were you on the loan? I am assuming if he was only one on title you were not on loan? However did you take tax write off?

Loan officer will require financial records, tax returns, check credit scores, debt ratio.

You might be able to qualify for a tax credit
