Yesterday was Veterans Day and I saw this quote and wanted to share it. Whether you’re religious or not, you will appreciate the part about Veterans.
“Only two defining forces ever offered to die for you,
Jesus Christ and the American soldier.
One died for your soul,
the other died for your freedom.”

President Obama and Secretary Shinseki are working on a 5 year plan to end Veteran Homelessness by 2015, and one of the programs available through the VA is transitional housing. You can read about this program, and the HUD/Vash program that is a major effort by both the VA and the Housing Authority to house Veterans in permanent, safe housing they can afford. Homeless Veterans Resources is an article I wrote to help Vets like myself that might have found themselves needing a helping hand.
Even if you’re not a homeless Vet you might know someone that can use these resources. There is a click button on the article that lets you click to feed the homeless, and there is also a resource to buy some of the items those living on the streets might need.

I got a call from a client that bought his home last year wanting to know if he qualified for the tax credit. He was unsure of when he signed his contract (they had to be signed before May 1, 2010).
After receiving this call I figure others might also question if they are eligible, so here’s a good article explaining who is and isn’t eligible. It also explains why people that bought in 2008 and used the First Time Buyer Tax Credit will now have to start paying it back.
It’s important to note that only the 2010 Tax Credit doesn’t have to be paid back.
