Home Buyer Tax Credit Extended, Expanded   The extension of the first-time home buyer tax credit will help continue to clear out inventory, but expanding the credit to include more buyers may not be as helpful in high-cost housing areas.       President Barack Obama recently signed legislation that extends the deadline on the first-time home buyer tax credit and adds a smaller tax credit for move-up and other home buyers.       The extension and expansion gives home buyers a tax incentive to buy a home until at least April 30, 2010 -- April 30, 2011 for qualifying military pers... 12/23/2009

Vital Information ForFirst-Time Buyers   The first-time homebuyer Federal tax credit for $8000, record-low interest rates, and nationwide median home prices dropping to the lowest point in five years, makes this an enticing time to consider buying a home. By the way, that tax incentive isn't truly just for first-time buyers -- it's defined as those not having owned a home in the last three years. Research and knowing your options are critical. Check with your tax accountant for more details. It's increasingly likely that Congress will extend and expand the popular home buyer ta... 11/03/2009

What requirements are there to become a Home Inspector?  In Davenport, Iowa, there are no laws yet for licensing or continuing education.  There are national companies to certify such as NACHI, NAHI and ASHI but no requirements in order to perform a Home Inspection.   Should a Home Inspector, who is expected to give a report on the strengths and weaknesses of possibly the single largest investment a person will make in their life be licensed?  Should they be required to take continuing education in order to keep up on their trade?  Should they just inspect the property without discussing anything with the Buyer?  Wouldn't that be hanging them out to dry?     The most important part of a Home Inspection IMHO is the teaching that goes on.  The teaching of how to determine safety concerns ... 10/21/2009
