First time home buyer tax credit and Owner Financing?
~~LaLaLa~~~ asked:
We are buying a home for the first time but we are owner financing it. This home is his grandmother’s home and we are actively in the process of setting up the owner financing with her and the bank. Since we aren’t borrowing money from the bank but paying to his grandmother and the house will still be in our name and we will be paying taxes on it, are we still eligble for the first time home buyer credit signed yesterday as long as the process is completed by the end of the year?

As long as you close on the house and transfer title by the end of the Tax Credit period, you are covered. There is no provision in the bill that restricts the method of financing (or even paying cash).
